Children: Our Nation's Future
I am not a parent. However, I am a teacher, informally now, formally in the past. I am also a perennial student. I received a terrific education from the Spring Branch Independent School District in Houston from 1958 - 1970. I do everything I can to support these schools. I encourage others to support their public schools, particularly in these times of budget cuts and PR wars on teachers, and real science.
My local school district, where I got a fabulous education is supported through Spring Branch Education Foundation .
HOUSTON TEACHERS!!! IF you use recycled items in your classrooms & always need supplies of them. Please leave me a note on this website
(Look on the coupons page). I have lots of items that might be useful & will arrange to get them to you if you want them. Examples:
McDonald's Sauce cups for watercoloring water bowls Plastic straws useful for cutting & stringing or using to build "log houses"
Old prescription bottles (washed & de-labeled) for storing small items Printed on one side paper that can be used for drawing
& the list goes on.
Tell me what you need/want & if I have it or get it, I'll save them for you. I have coupons for school supplies too.
