Beware of What you Ask for ...

charisstomaAt the beginning of the year students are asked to bring certain supplies to school. Things like paper towels, facial tissue, notebook paper, pencils. It’s voluntary, the district doesn’t provide these things.
This is what I sent out to teachers to tap this resource:
Please send facial tissues to the Library. We are about 1 student short of an empty box.
What resulted was very similar to the “Sorcerer’s Apprentice”. 3 separate teachers sent me massive quantities all pretty much at the same time as I was juggling with other projects. To prevent further facial tissue influx I quick fired off a thank you and enough message. My Librarian pointed out the error of my ways.
We have facial tissues that will keep us in blowing service for a very long time.
THANK YOU!

It was very busy and then the many many boxes of facial tissues started arriving. I think final count was somewhere near 12 boxes.
