"I'm more than happy to help get you the paper you need—it's so hard to believe (and heartbreaking) that you don't have the most basic supplies you need to do your job. I hope this donation helps say thanks for all you do."

Teacher Tip

"No matter what the theme of my class is this year or what new units we do, I know that I'm going to need pencils, boxes of tissues, and reams of paper to make it through the year. So I always make that my first project every year. If I don't have a creative brainstorm for a project idea later, just knowing I won't be running out of paper in October takes a big load off my mind."

— Ms. Craven, 7th grade teacher in Kansas
