On friday night at about 2 a.m. May 4, 2007 two class rooms at echo mountain were set on fire by arsins unknown. Burning everything inside includeing all of the teachers equipment, teaching supplys and tools as well as the students beloved classroom pets. One of the teachers also so happens to be my sister which has been teaching for 4 years. The hard part for these teachers is that they build a supply of teaching tools over the years out of they're own pocket and with a teachers salary to rebuild a classroom from scratch is nearly impossible. At this time the school has not offered to reimburse the teachers for any of the added supplys and tools that they have aquired. I know this isn't as extreme as some of the other charities we have all put together but anything will help these teachers and thier students for the upcoming school year. I haven't planned anything but I will be opening a "Pay Pal" account for anything that people would wish to donate. I also am takeing any suggestions on some sort of charitie show or car wash to be held this summer(Joe i know your the best at this). My family and friends will also be more than willing to help us out and I'm sure once we have something put together, the students parents and communities will pitch in as well. So with that being said, please let me know what you all think we can do
Thanks again
Ryan
And the Penney family
