Guy E. Rowe Elementary School teacher Lisa Cooper spent Wednesday afternoon painting shelves and doing other prep work in her kindergarten class at the Norway school. She and many other teachers and administrators are spending countless hours volunteering their time and using their own money to buy supplies and materials for their students and classrooms. School starts Sept. 6 for grades 1 through 5 and Sept. 8 for Pre-K and kindergarteners. Russ Dillingham/Sun Journal
