  Funded Dec 20, 2012

  Thank you so much for your much appreciated donations. The students of my classroom do not always have the resources to make their work "POP". The supplies that we received were extraordinary and gave their work a little something extra.

  Your donations went to underprivileged kids that do not have the opportunities that other kids do.When they see that people who do not know them and care to make their lives better- It puts a smile on their faces.

  The students love the various dry erase markers and erasers. They also enjoy walking into the colorful room. Once again thank you for your generous donations.”
