While running thru my workout this morning at my Curves, I saw they had posted a notice on on of the boards for all of us to see.
Ramona Elementary School in Hemet, CA is asking for donations of the following items:
500 boxes of #2 pencils (1box=144 pencils)
2200 boxes of Crayola Crayons (16 crayons per box)
150 packages of dry erase markers (10 per pkg)
175 packages of dry erase markers (6 per pkg)
500 reams of notebook paper
I think it is a great thing to get the community involved, but what happened, first of all, to giving parents a list of items for their child to bring to school.
Second of all, where is all the federal school funding. Oh, wait! I remember.....we are giving it all to the politicians. In fact, for those of you outside California, we are having quite a debacle over the city of Bell, CA where the city manager of a city of 37,000 population (yep--that's all) was making a fat handsome salary of over $800K per year, and his assistant was making over $400K, and the list goes on.
Bet those kids in Bell have NO money for school supplies.
So, in the interest of making sure our children are educated, I am going to do my part and donate what I can on this list and hopefully through the goodness of the hearts of others, Ramona Elementary School in Hemet California will have all the supplies they need for the 2010-11 school year.
