In a cost-saving measure the district no longer supplies us with colored paper, so any families who can donate reams of colored copy paper would be greatly appreciated. We especially need green, lavender and blue. Thank you to those who have already donated colored paper!!!

Wish List for donated items:

kleenex

colored copier paper in pastel colors.

 

"Literature exists to create memories so true and important that we allow them to become part of ourselves, shaping our future actions because we remember that once someone we admired did this, and someone we hated and feared did that. Literature matters only to the degree that it shapes and changes human behavior by making the audience wish to be better because they read it. It becomes importantly bad only to the degree that it entices the audience to revel in actions and memories that debase the culture that embraces it." Orson Scott Card

Blue 3X5 cards are now available at the Supply Shack on campus (room 508 - across from our classroom.) If you are unable to locate the blue 3X5 cards or the composition books Mrs. H. has packages of 100 cards for $2.00, and composition books for $2.00. If you are able to locate them elsewhere for less by all means buy them there. Office Depot indicated that if they are out of blue cards you can ask and they will order some for you!
