College Center : Desktop Computer

This wish has been completed!  Thank you so much parents!!! 






Ms Henry works like a dog to get our LACES students into the college of their choice. It takes a lot of hand holding, strategizing and computer time!!!
Currently,  we have very tired, unreliable and sorry computers.   Our students are on them all the time as they research their goals for their college future.    

We are trying to replace the computers.

We have collected $425 so far and need another $325.

Can you cover the rest of the fund?
Can you contribute anything?

And a special shout out to our senior parents, if you are eternally grateful for the work Ms Henry did to help your child reach his or her goals would you consider contributing to this fund for the future LACES college bound students?    Ms Henry will be so grateful.

Please write a check to FOL and in the memo line put College Computer   On the outside of the envelope write attention Seta.   Put envelope in FOL Box in Main Office.

English Department: CD Player

New Update:  CD player is on its way to Ms Sandberg from parent.  Thank you!


Do you have a gently used CD player that you can donate to Ms. Sandberg's class?
Can you purchase one?

She has been borrowing a CD player but really deserves her own,

When books are set in a specific era Ms. Sandberg likes to play music of that time.   Additionally, she plays CDs of authors and or professionals reading their books.

If any of you are familiar with Zora Neal Hurston than you know her writings are filled with rich dialect from another era.    This year, Ms Sandberg could see the students were struggling with the material as they read the book outloud.   However, once she played a CD and could hear the words it made more sense and then they could continue and get the full flavor of the story.

If you can either donate a CD player or purchase one please let SETA know.   Send and Email HERE

ENGLISH DEPT : Markers & Pencils

New Update (5/21) A family has stepped up and offered to cover Ms. Sandberg's pens. Thank you so much for helping our students work on their editing skills.  What do we know?  Writing is re-writing. Thank you!

Eventhough we are in the 21st Century there are times when a student just needs a color pencil or marker to make their point.  Especially in English Class.   Ms Sandberg needs one set of Crayola Markers  cost is $55. 

Ms Sandberg also needs one set of colored pencils $58.   

Her 8th & 9th grade students will use them for projects and for peer editing.  

Is there anything more tender than markers and color pencils?

Can you cover the cost? 

Please write a check to FOL and in the memo line put Markers & Pencils.   On the outside of the envelope write attention Seta.   Put envelope in FOL Box in Main Office.

English Dept: LCD Projector

Update:   One family has stepped up to cover the cost of this projector.  Thank you, so much. 

This wish is now complete.   




Ms Turken's 8th and 9th grade English Classes need an LCD projector.   An LCD projector will make it possible to project lessons, powerpoint lectures or key notes.   It is a basic tool that helps teachers with their curriculum.    The LCD projector costs $350 and we have collected $85 so we need $265.

Can you cover the whole cost?
Can you donate any part of the cost?
Can you ask your  yahoo group if they will kick in?

Whatever you can donate will be greatly appreciated.

English Department: Non-Fiction AP English Books

NEW UPDATE 5/21: Two parents have stepped up and covered the rest of the money needed for Ms Sandburg to increase her library.     

This Wish Now Complete.  Thank you, Parents!   




We are trying to expand Ms Sandburg's classroom library.    Ms Sandburg's library provides reading material for reluctant readers and will pique curiosity and desire.

Many of the students who borrow from Ms Sandburg's current library are not even her students.   She has an extensive selection and is constantly going to ebay and book sales to add to the collection.   She currently is trying to expand her non fiction selection.    To see which titles she hopes to bring into her library go HERE.


She needs $250 and has had one family already donate $25.  We need $225 more to get all the books.

Ms Sandberg teaches High School English and if you have a high schooler it would be great if you could kick in for this wonderful goal.  However, if you are a middle school parent and have a love of reading, would you please help cover Ms Sandberg's goal?    

Love of reading starts at any age and it can be one book that activates the reader.   It could have been Harry Potter for some kids back in elementary school.  Maybe it was Diary of a Wimpy kid?  Sure. But the truth is that there are some kids who respond to real stories about real people and this is where we need to support Ms Sandberg as she expands her Non-Fiction library.

And remember even if your kid doesn't have Ms Sandberg, her library is available to all.

Please write a check to FOL and in the memo line put NonFiction Books.   On the outside of the envelope write attention Seta.   Put envelope in FOL Box in Main Office.

English Department: ELMO Document Camera

UPDATE:  One LACES family is covering this Elmo purchase.   Thank you! 



When it comes to writing there is one adage that all professional writers know is true:  "Writing is Rewriting."    The power of editing is a skill that students should learn early in school.  And for students at a college prep school like LACES the bar is raised high since writing is key to term papers and therefore college dreams.  

Ms Sandberg will be using this in English 10th, 10H and AP English.  

The ELMO Document Camera can project student and professional writing samples for group or class editing.    It costs $360.   We have already received a $50 donation.   We need $310

Can you donate $310 and cover the whole cost?
Can you cover $50 or $100?

Can you reach out to your yahoo group and ask if any of them want to kick in?

Let's get Ms Sandberg this ELMO and get our students on the right side of writing.
