[LM_NET] Tar: Elem: How would you spend $10,000?

[John Wolfgang <wolfgang@TELEPORT.COM>]

Our staff meeting this week had a real surprise ending.
The family of a former teacher in our district (she retired
in the 70's and passed away this year at age 92) stopped
by to present a check from her estate for $10,000.  It is to 
be spent by our school (K-5) "to support literacy".  Wow!

Our committee is seeking input for ways to spend this generous
gift.  Your ideas would be appreciated.  

(I feel the same as last week's top Powerball winner here in Oregon
who said after winning $340 Million...."You always hope for something like
this, but I really didn't have a plan for how to spend it."
