Bright Ideas..... |
 |
*Why can't Clow
have any school sports such as
Football or Baseball?
*Since Earth Day is in April I thought we should get a
recycling bin in the lunchroom.
*We should get more Babymouse books.
*We should have an area where only people with work to do go.
*We should have a Mother's Day lunch the week
of Mother's Day.
*You should sign cards more often.
*We should be able to donate books to the LMC.
(selection tips)
*We should
have more writing contests.
*Change the way we do Library Lovers because some grades like fifth grade
are not in the LMC often, and whenever we are no one gives us signatures.
Make new suggestions either
by adding to the suggestion box on the circulation desk or on our website at
the Bright Idea
section.
4th & 5th
Graders ONLY
