Re: Venting about teachers AND looking for new fund raiser

["Irwin - Maureen S." <msirwin@UMD5.UMD.EDU>]

At my last school I earmarked book fair profits (not huge) for one
particular department which I rotated each year.  I didn't make a big
deal about it, I simply informed the chosen department it was their turn,
based on what section of the library needed beefing up.  These profits
were still for
the library only, but the collection got a needed shot in the arm to
support that curriculum, and was spent using those teachers'
recommendations.  I think the very first year I was there I spent it on
unabridged recorded books for the required novels for middle school, but
then I used it for Science books, Am. Hist books, etc.  I don't remember
hearing any grumbling--maybe it just didn't make it up the stairs!
