If I Had a Hammer!

If I had a hammer.....I'd put it into our "Toole Box"! I am hopeful that all families received the communication/letter about the advisory theme baskets to be auctioned off at our student-led conferences. Mrs. Toole's and my advisory are joining efforts to create and auction our "TooleBox". Thank you to those who have already sent in their donations. We are still in need of filling our "Toole Box" with gift cards, tools, tape, and supplies. If you are willing and able to contribute to this basket (even if your student is not in our advisory) please have your items to Mrs. Toole's or my classroom by this Friday, Oct. 21st.
