What do these four books have in common? Mold. Sadly these four books are just a few that have recently been returned to us soaking wet. When books are returned wet, we are unable to dry them off because the paper starts to develop mold. This time of year our backpacks are not always the safest place for our books.  We are also trying to carry shoes, boots, snow pants, hats, mittens, gloves, scarves, etc. All of which can become really wet. Please be extra careful when carrying around these items and your school work or library books. If you need to, protect your materials in a large plastic bag within your backpack. Moms and Dads, be sure to double check your child's backpack to see if it is wet at the end of the day. {I was shocked at how wet my daughters' backpacks have become!}
