Sorry, still off-topic.

My friend who's teaching in the California kindergarten needs to buy some stuff for the kids. But the school itself supplies only paper, scissors, pencils and crayons, linking blocks and a CD player.

Is there any fund to which teachers can apply to get money for further supplies? She wants to get things like shelves so she can do a Montessori-type thing with activities available to the kids, plus some small treats that can be used in reinforcing learning.

(Please don't offer to send money. I'm looking for formal sources of funding for her. I Googled for this without success.)
