Desperately Seeking BOOKS
We are looking for books that support the curriculum (books on topics that the teachers are teaching our kids) and fiction books that are age appropriate and interest appropriate for our kids. Ages 12-18.
Our kids are very interested in anything including historical fiction, mysteries, science fiction, and fantasy. We are also asked for popular teen titles. We have a select group who are also interested in Manga, or Japanese comic books–they want to learn how to draw in that particular style. If you find Manga to donate, make sure it is teen appropriate. Some of it can be quite risque.
I would like to expand our fiction section–these are the books that draw kids into the library!
If you have any questions or have any books to donate, please contact:

I will also need help preparing the pit orchestra for spring musical (Sound of Music).

Socratic Seminar Papyrus Project
is Looking For YOU
I have ordered dry strips of papyri from Egypt and will need help setting up the cafeteria with tubs of water, rolling pins, mallets, etc. The students will be making their own sheets of papyrus and after it dries will write on it. I am unsure of the date of the project as I am waiting for the shipment. But I would love help with this. It would be during second and third period.
Please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to help out:

Winterim Extreme Cookin’ Class
I will need a LOT of help with Winterim. We will be teaching the kids how to cook, and I am looking for parents who have a love for cooking that would like to share some of their knowledge with the kids. Let me know if you would like to help out and some of your “extreme” ideas.

Proofreading Assistance
I need a parent who has a strong English grammar background who would be willing to help “proofread” papers and track student edits. This would free up my time to focus on helping students improve the “big picture” issues with their writing (their ideas and organization as opposed to their capitalization and punctuation).
It would be helpful to have a parent (or a couple parents) who could log into a shared gmail account about once a week to look at papers. Please contact me if you would be interested in helping out:
