[LM_NET] GEN: HELP - Problem with Damaged Books

["Gray, Patricia" <pgray@FCPS1.ORG>]

HELP!  We are over a month + back in school and we are having a HUGE problem with 
books being returned damaged - nasty damage like yogurt or banana "explosions" and 
WET books.  I go over my big talk with all grades about taking care of their books 
and letting us know if something does happen to come and tell us - instead of just 
putting it in the return box.  I know that accidents happen but it seems like they 
are happening more and more often.  
 
Any suggestions how I can encourage kids to really take care of their books? 
 
TIA!  :)
