Welcome to the 2012—2013 After School Program!
My name is Lindsay Jackson and I am the new Director for the Before and After School Program.
Some students from Edna Libby may know me as Mrs. Jackson. I am a former Title I Reading Teacher for
the district. I was happy to recognize so many familiar faces during the first week of school!
Because of my previous job, all aspects of learning, reading and education are some of my favorite
things to share with others! I hope that as a group, we can combine education and learning activities, as well
as a recreation and play time for all of the participating students.
Please feel free to contact me at the number listed above if you have any question, concerns, or com-
ments about the program. We welcome suggestions and input and hope to have open communication be-
tween all of the afterschool participants, parents, and staff.
Thank you!

Cleaning out?? Any donation of board
games, craft materials, or books to the
program would be greatly appreciated!
We celebrated National Play-Doh Day during the week of
September 16th by making our own Play-Doh.
Here is the recipe!
1 cup of flour (We ended up having to use more)
½ cup of salt
1 package of Kool-Aid (unsweetened)
3 tablespoons oil
1 cup boiling water (We heated ours up in the microwave)
Mix the flour, salt and Kool-Aid in a bowl. Add oil and
water. Stir until blended. (This was when we noticed
more flour was needed). Keep mixture in the bowl and
knead with hands until soft.
This Play-Doh can be put in a Ziploc bag and stored in the
refrigerator for a few months.
