Here are some other ideas: laptops definitely, GED books for students (pretty expensive), or other books (dictionaries, text books, reference books), classroom equipment (more cribs, strollers, etc. for the baby room, for example), or what about child care for the parents to take summer classes at a local college? I found that in Adult Ed, it was not difficult to spend $1000 on books without even having to work hard. We don't usually have to buy many books for children, because we get RIF and sometimes other donations of books for them. Though we do buy children's books for the classroom. ------------------------------ Sylvan Rainwater . sylvan@cccchs.org Adult Education Teacher and Family Literacy Program Manager Clackamas County Children's Commission .
