Sandalwood High's Wish List: You Can Be a Hero

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Sandalwood High School is trying to make sure its students learn bell to bell. But it needs some help so teachers don't have to spend their own money; right now, some spend hundreds to buy basic supplies.

If you can donate anything from Sandalwood's wish list, just drop items by the main office at the school. Please tell the school that the donation goes to the assistant principal.

All donations are tax deductible.

The following are a few of the items requested by teachers and staff:

• ELMO projectors
• Portable CD burners
• Handheld recorders
• Graphing calculators TI89
• Digital cameras
• Motivational posters
• 4-ft folding tables with adjustable height
• Electric heavy duty pencil sharpeners
• Drafting tables
• Lateral file cabinets with four drawers
• Dry eraser boards
• Electric hand tools
• Sandpaper
• 10" table saw + carbide tip blades
• Router bits
• 25' tape rulers
• Any kitchen supplies
• Hand sanitizers in pump containers
• Standard wheelchairs
• CD's R/W
• Push carts - 3 tier
• Silk plants
• College flags
• Heavy-duty hole punches
• 100 plain T-shirts

Sandalwood High is, of course, not the only school in need of a few heroes now.
