Phatskipper, Thank you!!!

Couldn't have asked for better info. It sure makes sense that $ could be better spent to invest that way, and other ways the school may see fit. I've often wondered why at my own highschool here in Austin, was there was nothing offered to those students who wanted to learn a trade rather than continue on to a universtity. All of the focus was placed on academics. Anyways, before I start rambling....

I've decided that is what I will do...donate in the way of a check. My daughter is making friendship bracelets as well for the school children. Hopefully we have time to make enough...would like to be able to give something for the little ones to enjoy as well.

Thanks again for your input!
