Parents have been real friends of library
Published Saturday, November 7, 2009
Dear Editor,
Proration at 7.5 percent and then 12 percent in the Alabama state education budget means zero funding for the Andalusia Elementary School library for books and zero funding for teacher supplies.
Yet, we must give a big “thank you” to the parents, students and PTO for supporting our schools. Recently, the community supported the AES library book fair and, yes, we will be able to buy books for the library and other items to support teachers and students. The book fair was a success. Thank you.
We give our additional thanks to a family that donated money to purchase library books. The Andalusia City Educational Foundation has offered several monetary grant opportunities to the AES teachers and library. Thank you for your generous grants, gifts and financial planning.
Thank you all so much for finding ways to support the Andalusia Elementary School library media center in a year of zero funding.
Holly Krudop
library media specialist at AES

I'm sure all of your parents have been great. And I think you have a wonderful thing here going on for our kids. But obviously this is not a concern of the city or anyone else since you are not getting feed back on this forum.

Continue the good work. Better times will come soon and public funding can be restored. Perhaps some local churches or businesses could provide a grant to the library.

The day (Wednesday) was fun and the staff of AES was professional and friendly. The children were well behaved and polite. Thanks Ms Krudop for the opportunity to spend a day with my granddaughter's schoolmates.
