People of the Book

http://tinyurl.com/yln7sue

• More than 30 tutors meet with over 70 students each week throughout the school year.
• We give 3000 books directly to students each year, and also donate many books to classrooms and school libraries.  We provide weekly magazine subscriptions to every student at two schools, and donate magazines to a third school’s library.
• Library volunteers help by processing and shelving donated books. (We have stocked four school libraries with attractive, quality books.)
• Teen volunteers provide academic help and companionship at an after-school homework center at Lazear School.
• Over the years, our volunteers have visited classes to read stories as well as to provide art and music enrichment. We have donated supplies for schoolwork, sports, and art projects.
• With our congregation’s generous cash donations we have bought microscopes for a science class; arranged author assemblies and school-wide magazine subscriptions; purchased books, reading incentives like bookmarks and classroom materials; and have donated carpeting, posters, and beanbag chairs for libraries.
• In cooperation with other groups, we also have provided much needed social services: arranging delivery of 150 bags of food a week to one school, conducting a holiday Adopt-a-Family project as well as a food drive for the winter break, and making school-site improvements as part of the Temple’s annual Mitzvah Day project.

The poll will end on 25 Nov 2009.

Christmas Burp Set

This set of three burp cloths is perfect for a Christmas present for the special baby in your life that could use a little extra help staying clean. They will look great keeping Christmas clothes clean.
My burp cloths are made with super absorbent cloth diapers and will last through the messiest baby. I needed an endless supply so I started decorating them. They are such great gifts! They can be washed in hot water so you can use them to clean up any baby spill. Cloths are about 20 inches by 17 inches (there is variation in size) and could even be used as a changing pad. I loved having them since my daughter spit up a ton.

Ribbon loops allow you to attach your cloth to a car seat or stroller so your little wiggle doesn’t throw it on the ground. These cloths make a great present for a shower and individual listings allow you to make the perfect burp set.

I gift wrap all my sets in tissue with ties and a tag. Let me know if it is a gift!
I am very convo friendly and love to make custom items.
