Thank you!!!

Just wanted to say thanks to those of you who have already contributed towards the classroom supplies!! I'm so excited to be able to impact these kids' lives in a positive way, and I'll be sure to acknowledge your contributions so that the kids and these teachers know that there are people out there that really care! :)

I'll be taking my first shopping trip in the next few days, and I'll post updates of the progress as it happens. Thanks again :)

Update!

I really enjoy participating in the Adopt-a-Classroom program. It's the start of a new school year and I am in the process of putting together two packages for two different teachers, both in South Dakota.

I have emailed them asking what specifically they may need - and I would like to give you the opportunity to donate whatever you wish so that I may purchase as many things as possible. Any amount is greatly appreciated, and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to the purchase of the necessary items. I will post updates on the progress of this effort and I hope to send out the finished packages on October 1st.

The first teacher, Rochelle in Castlewood, SD, writes:
I have 24 first graders this year so they are keeping me hopping. Thank you for your willingness to help our classroom. Some items in need are good wooden pencils, Crayola - 24 crayons, any small gifts to be used for reading incentives. I usually give out nice bookmarks, books, colored pencils, puzzle books, etc. Anything that you can help with will be greatly appreciated.

The second teacher, Clara in Kyle, SD, writes:
My most immediate items would be: pencils, markers, dry eraser markers, class pencil sharpener, tablets, masking tape, scotch tape, resource math books for 1st grade. Thanks for helping, I really appreciate your help.
