Teacher Wish Lists
Thanks to all those who have contributed to help our teachers buy some essentials for their classrooms that just didn’t make it into the school’s budget.
Items such as the ones the teachers have listed below often get purchased from their own personal funds or sometimes not at all. If you would like to assist in granting any of the remaining ‘wishes,’ please contact Laura Haeusser, Linda Doyle or the school office. Thanks for your generosity!
