Sergio said after showing her students the documentary Paper Clips two years ago, her students wanted to do something similar.
“They came back with me a half hour later and said ‘can we collect eraser tops? And I said ‘ok what is the significance of the eraser tops?’ And they said they wanted to erase the hatred that Hitler caused,” said Sergio. ....

Spruce Mountain School District's nearly $20.75 million budget goes to voters April 27

• Article 1 asks to appropriate nearly $20.75 million and raise $10.16 million.
• Article 2 authorizes the school board to transfer amounts exceeding 5% of the total appropriation for any cost center to or among other cost center(s), provided the budget isn’t increased.
• Article 3 asks to appropriate $862,229.33 and raise $240,000 ($80,000 for each town) for the food service program.
• Article 4 asks to appropriate $373,267.48 and raise $198,000 ($66,000 for each town) for adult education.
“If each of these articles passes, total taxes will decrease $61,348.8 in Jay,” Albert said. “They will increase $14,851.19 in Livermore and $27,947.62 in Livermore Falls.”
A home valued at $100,000 in Jay would see no increase; one in Livermore would be taxed $7 more than this fiscal year; one in Livermore Falls would be taxed $16.20 more than this fiscal year. ....
