However, if you're on a tighter budget, you can always buy books for a great little elementary school located downtown. Their Amazon wishlist is on the front page of the website: www.thomsonelementary.org Full disclosure, my kids attend this school. About 3/4 of the children at Thomson are on a free/reduced price lunch and more than half are English language learners. The school isn't in Petworth, but these are great kids who really appreciate books. The joy of the Amazon site is there is no overhead, whatever you give, goes right to the school.

Other than that, it sounds like a great organization. My favorite is the actual bid items…I’m not sure how many of the people on this blog have that kind of cash to throw around.
