LOOK! Pencils for Sale!  We have run out of pencils a few times, and we didn’t realize how popular they would be!  Thanks to all of you for your purchases, we hope you like the, “New and Improved,” pencils!  Don’t forget, keep bringing and saving your “Box Tops.”  More prizes will be awarded again in March, the more coupons collected means more money for Schafer Park.
