Maggie - I hope you find that art teaching job - as for clay and
floors - my custodian was glad
to have my classroom wet mopped every night - he assigned the night
custodian to do it.
They wanted to keep the clay tracks out of the school hallways. If
they do it for you - repay
the favor - bake cookies or buy them a bottle or two.
