How many times have you wondered what to do with office supplies, computers and office furniture which have achieved obsolescence?  Many of us have supplies that we no longer use just sitting in a closet, drawer or file cabinet because we never got around to returning them to the supplier or our needs have changed.  As you go through your daily life, either at work or at home, think about the items, time or funds you might be able to offer our schools that might benefit the children in our community and clear out some much needed space in your business or home.  The School Advisory Council at Mountain View Elementary School, which is comprised of dedicated parents, teachers and members of the community, has put together a list of suggestions * we are sure you can think of other things as you read the list.  Please call Carolyn Wallace, the principal at Mountain View Elementary School at 525-5490 if you are able to assist the school in some way.  It never hurts to ask*
