Katharine Bell is in Mrs. Rhodes's 4th grade class at Farallone View.

Teacher Diana Purucker once again kicked off the new school year with a community huge garage sale to benefit the Farallone View Lit Club.  The Lit Club sale happens twice a year, in September and January, and all proceeds go to buy books for the kids at school. Typically, each sale raises about $1,000.

Each year I promise myself as I drop off donations that I won’t buy anything myself, and this year was no different. I headed home with two boxes of kids’ clothes, books and bike helmets.  So much for all the extra space in the garage!

UPDATE: Saturday’s Lit Club Garage Sale raised an amazing $1,700.
