Subject: egg shells
Hi,

Thank you all for the gallon jugs.  I received so many that I was able to share with the other teachers. I have another request from your kitchens if possible.  One of the organisms that will inhabit our terrariums is the land snail.  Snails require a source of calcium.  If you could send in some egg shells, they would be oh so happy.  Thanks again for all of the support throughout the year.  Warm regards, B. Fisher

I’m not sure how I feel about Phantasma carrying egg shells, Beth. I mean, there’s going to be traces of raw egg there. Raw egg contains salmonella. I’m pretty sure that Wolstein will have some kind of issue with this request. It sounds like something she would gripe about.

On a positive note, Tasma’s excited about seeing some snails. She’ll probably ask to take one home. Beth, do not let her. I’m afraid The Stripey One or The White One will play snail hockey. We don’t want that.
