School supplies for R.C. school !

We all need a little help ,now;and again.Can anyone bring us some school supplies? Invest in our children click picture
(special thanks to our friends from Michigan) Please help us! click on picture
The Roman Catholic School need our help, now.Friends of ours e-mailed, and asked a tough question. "Tim ,Tina we are coming to stay at our Condo. What should we bring to donate, and to who?" That was a toughest question for me to answer,at the time.
I started calling around to the various organizations and was quite disturbed to find out the desperate shape our primary school is in for supplies, funds and volunteers (teachers).
We had the privilege to be introduced to Mrs. Kay the Principal and Miss Paula.We had to wait a few minutes, children were in the Principals office (reminded me of the old days), because of being out of school .
We entered her office after and found out the kids were not coming to school ,because ;they had no supplies. Pencil ,paper and a ruler,I was ill. How could one school on the other side of the island have computers and this school needs these basics.Tina and I are aware of the Calender Girls ,which have been doing a terrific job of raising funds and allocating them to build more class rooms.We decided then, and there ;we would try to give these children some help.We will work beside the Calender Girls and Miss Kay, so we don't step on any toes. Mrs. Eva (Calender Girls) has worked this hard and knows the needs better than us. Our goal is to set up a web site with a wish list and some updated photos. This will take some time, for now I can forward your information for those that can make a difference.

Mrs. Paula says these are composition books (see pic below), they come large and small and they could use both. They have a hard cover and the pages are blank. If you cant find that type get any type of notebooks, with blank pages will due fine. Normally you can find these at the dollar store. They also need flash cards, rulers, pencils, chalk and other school basics for teachers and students. Anyone that would be interested in volunteering to be a teacher or substitute would be warmly welcomed.P.S. Leashes were for SagaThanks in advance for supplies brought in your suitcase.Together we make a better San Pedro!! Again ,special thanks to our friends From Michigan.If it was not for them we would not have seen this extremely needed cause at this particular time. We will continue to dedicate our resources to this school.
