I liked the Power your lunchbox pledge contest. I think it is good for kids to learn how to keep themselves healthy. It would also be fun to have the Hungry Caterpillar come to our school for a family read night.
Exacto and Elmers always makes me happy. But ohh I would love a visit from the Hungry Caterpillar. Would love the books.
I love the X-Acto sharpener!
The X-Acto giveaway is awesome! Would be so cool to win.
I like the X-Acto. Elmers and Georgia Pacific.
A visit from the caterpillar in A Very Hungry Caterpillar would be so much fun
Office max!!
My students (and I) would go out of their minds for a visit from the very hungry caterpillar! My class took the pledge!
