Cumulatively, Mrs. Roerdink's students have read around 37,000,000 words! (a measured in Accelerated Reader) That's great! That means on average, each child in the class has read nearly half a million words, just in Language Arts. Imagine how many words they have read in their other classes!

We are full swing in cold and flu season. I have just opened up my fourth box of tissues since winter began.
If you are able to help me get your kids healthy by supplying us with a box of tissues or a bottle of hand sanitizer, my budget would greatly appreciate that:-)
