What is the Sunday Salon?
The Sunday Salon is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week. It's also a great opportunity to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there.
A tornado destroyed Walt Disney Elementary School in my town last week while we were up in East Texas. School was out for winter break, and there were no injuries, so we are all grateful for that.
But if you have ever been a teacher, you know how much of a teacher's own money and love goes into a classroom, and none of this is covered by insurance. The school district is working hard to get a building ready for the more than five hundred students in grades 3-5 that will return to the classroom on Monday, January 6th, and local people are holding supply drives for students and teachers.
