Re: [ncte-talk] How might we show our support?/jan back

["Ginger K. Ogle" <englishrules@earthlink.net>]

Our school is also fundraising for the Red Cross, and today a member of 
our dept. suggested we take pieces of butcher paper and put them up for 
our students to write messages of support to those in New York.  She 
suggested we send them to the Mayor (though I'd be happy to send some to 
any of you in N.Y., if you want to email me offlist with your school 
addy!)  I plan to leave mine up for a week or so before sending it.  (or 
longer, if I know the mail service in NYC is still down....)

[At one level, this is good for *my* students, but I'm also hoping it 
will be supportive for those on the receiving end--I don't think we can 
ease their pain, but perhaps it will help to know that others are 
thinking of them....]

On another subject, I want you all to know that when I heard the news 
Tuesday, one of the first places I looked for support and comfort during 
our national tragedy was this list.  Thanks for being there!
