Amy! I found your ‘Twas the Week Before Christmas poem on a friend’s Pinterest page and I went, wait, I know an Amy Oschlager, and lo and behold you’re the Amy I knew from Northwestern! Good to see you on here! I’ll have to bookmark your blog!

Comment on Scholar Dollar System by Karen

I used to have a book about the Scholar Dollar system. Along with the description of the system, there were pages of different denominations of bills. I know you are using the checkbook system, but do you know where I could get the dollars? These were a bit larger than a normal dollar bill. I remember one had a hoot owl on it. Thanks, Karen

I played around a little with tying ours and found a way that worked really well...it's a little tricky to explain (See picture in post) but I basically wrapped the "string" around the chair, twisted the two sides together (like the first step when you tie your shoe) then wrapped the ends around the sides of the chair and came back through the middle "hole" and then tied a know around the "twist". Oh my, does that make any sense? Hope it helps! My kiddos mostly used the pockets for novels, pencils and checkbooks...bigger, heavier books went in their desks.
