SHS Needs Help

I recently heard from Ann Hamilton, who is PTO Teacher Liaison for SHS. She writes that the school budget is severely constrained these days, and that often teachers cannot provide students with "classroom needs" to enhance the learning experience.

These include books, projectors, or transparencies for copiers. Some classes lack maps, dictionaries, and even pencils. Bigger-ticket items, like notebook computers or electronic whiteboards, are also needed urgently

Ann asked if the Class of '58 might wish to contribute. I checked with our Reunion Committee, who gave its approval to this announcement.

If you want to learn more, I've posted three files that you may download. One is an overview of the problem, and the others list needs for English, Languages, and Art. (Files are in MS Word: let me know if you need another format)

To contribute to the classroom needs fund, mail your checks to PTO, c/o Springfield High School, 101 South Lewis Street, Springfield IL 62704. Donations are tax-deductible.

For more information, please call Ann Hamilton at (217) 546-5035. And many thanks!
