A SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM MS. NEEL
"Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who donated to  my classroom. I am perpetually in awe of how kind and giving the TCS community is. Thanks to you, we have many books to enjoy and discuss. Two whole bookshelves worth! You
can still donate from my wish list or just bring in whatever books you think high schoolers should be reading. Cheers to a 2019 full of books!
