Wish List: What One School Would Do With $100K
If the Capistrano Unified School District won Patch's holiday contest, Principal Barbara Scholl, said she could think of a few things her elementary school could use.
Like a lot of schools these days, falls short in a number of school supplies.
So when Patch asked for her wish list if the won our $100,000 gift to the public schools, she couldn't respond fast enough.
