Wish List Reminder for Both Teachers and Parents

Filed under: General and Misc — Monica at 12:15 pm on Wednesday, November 29, 2006

Thank you to all who have participated in The Wish List project to date!  As you know, this is a community-wide effort to collect donations of various equipment and supplies desired by Drummond faculty but currently beyond their budgets.  Our teachers really appreciate the contributions of both gift cards and donated supplies that already have been contributed.

For those who’ve not yet had a chance to check it out, please do so by going to:

http://www.drummondlsc.org/main/school-wish-list/

This is a great place to start if you’re thinking about holiday gifts for the classroom. 

TEACHERS: Please be sure to contact me with any changes to your lists; be as specific as possible!  

Monica Lasky,

Wish List Committee Chair; President, FOD
