The support we've gotten from the school is incredible. The first-grade team gave us a basket with popcorn, candy and snacks, and some of the parents are giving the children regular beds for when they move into an apartment, as well as a table and chairs, armoire and sofa.

Theres no electricity, stuff like that down there. Its a little different. Its going to be crazy.
