school on wheels

finally went through all the donations for the school on wheels drive which ended two weeks ago. my uncle came back from taiwan so i didn't have a lot of floor space for sorting.

in any case, i think the drive was a pretty big success! in addition to having a lot of stuff in general, we have a good variety. btw, the photo doesn't show everything. i left a lot of the smaller things in the backpacks.

unlike with shoes or glasses, school supplies aren't easy to count up. so my didn't count every little thing. just the easier stuff.

7 composition books
37 spiral notebooks
7 "other" notebooks
