Request from Ms. Summa – Rolls, Rolls, and More Rolls!

The One School, One Book Committee needs rolls.  The kind of rolls that are left after you finish using all your paper towels, wrapping paper, aluminum foil, plastic wrap and so on (see below). Please remember to set aside your rolls at home when they are finished and drop them off when you can at the library.  You can also send them in with your child to Ms. Summa in the library.  The committee needs the rolls for a school-wide activity on November 3.

Thanks for your help!rolls
