Materials such as foam, plastic, cardboard, wood, fabric, and paper are currently being used. A lot of these materials can come from local businesses, if they know we want them. If you own, work for or know of a business that has by products, rejects, or overruns please contact Beth Neiser, Loretta Pfeifer, Leslie Cammarano, or Mariam Loiselle at 790-9890. In addition to contacting companies for materials people are also needed to pick up to materials, help organize the resource room, and a person who is handy with a caulking gun is needed to fix a leaky window. There was concern over the listing of home phone numbers in the book, but the PTO consensus was this was an extremely valuable asset to the parents of the school.
Teachers have put in their requests for software, the list is extensive.
It was decided to put out a feeler among the parents in case they have any of this software that children may have outgrown or never used. There is an attached list if you wish to donate. Please send it in or let us know before we vote on funds at the next meeting. Parents in partnership program sponsored by the Mass. Department of Education. Ideas along these lines are Family Math and Science nights, Health Fairs, Invention Conventions etc.
