Urgent School Needs

As we look forward to another great school year for our kids, we're starting to notice what's missing to get them ready. We could really use your help! Here's the first of a few blog entries with specific requests. Thanks for any little bit you can do to help! (Also, we are doing well with backpacks and school supplies, thanks to many generous friends. Thanks!)
