First-grader donates her allowance to "Save Teachers"

This is too sweet to go unmentioned, so here you have it:

About a week ago or so -- it could have been two weeks, I lose track of time so easily, sigh -- my colleague Megan Bagdonas wrote a short story about efforts on the Hill to raise enough money to fund salaries for teachers who may be laid off from Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified due to the massive funding cuts all but certainly coming down from the state.

Well a few days ago Megan gets faxed copy of a letter from Silver Spur Elementary first-grader Isabella Parks, who donated and hand-delivered her stash of stockpiled "chore money" to the "Save Our Teachers Now" campaign.

Here's the text , unedited:

"I'm Isabella Parks and I whant to save are teachers. This will be a big oppertonuty for me so here is all the money I have from my chores."

Tres adorable!
