Teacher’s wish list: Families- if you have any of the following at home and would be willing to donate them to science class I would be very grateful. I will only post a few things at a time (when at all possible) and will take items off if we get enough. Thank you!!!      • Clean, empty soup cans (with safe to touch tops)      • Old science text books from high school or college level courses      • Balsa wood  Thanks to Drew Antle for the lego donation! Many thanks to Kayleigh Kavanagh for the donation of many years worth of packing peanuts! Thanks to Zach Reihbein-Jones for his Lincoln Log donation. Thanks to Drew Antle and family for the legos.
