The parents have been great. Today they are out picking up 2,000 books for me.

I have 100 boxes of crayons in one suitcase and over 100 coloring and activity books in another. The displaced children have nothing to do.

Republic Services has been very good about setting up additional pick-ups. We've even tried to get a second dumpster.

He's (Pearson) been here before, and he's very popular. He will bring a python, whose name is Dragon. Dragon is a huge snake (about 18 feet). It takes three grown men to lift the snake in its box. When he (Pearson) pulls a piece of his tail from the box, everyone starts backing up.

I'm known as the science lady.

It's a great opportunity for the students to do something for the environment.
