Shoeboxes for Mrs. Gay!
Thank you to those of you who have brought in shoe boxes. They have been very helpful, but she still would love more!  

Mrs. Gay is looking for cardboard shoe boxes to be donated to the library. They are using them to put behind the books so the books don't fall behind the shelves or get pushed so far back that they can't be seen. Thank you!
