Teacher Wish List Program
2011 - 2012 Edition
Teacher wishes are organized in two categories - requests for supplies and requests for services.
Our dedicated Teachers have expressed some needs to enhance and enrich our students learning. Please take a moment to see if you can fulfill any of these requests. Many of us have pluralities we can easily share and grant a wish. It is also a great way to lighten your load and in turn contribute in a meaningful way.
Also, if you have items you would like to donate that are not yet posted as a request, we can list them on the, Reverse Wish List. Please contact Donna Hoefer, (donnahoefer@gmail.com) as well as the Teacher, if you have an item to donate.
Thank you to everyone for your previous and future donations.
