We Want to READ... We Love to READ... Please Help us READ

Funded Apr 16, 2009

Your kind donations were an asset to my classroom. My students had been expecting the package and knew it had arrived before I did. My students came running to me "on the yard" as we call it, and we yelling "Our rug is here, I saw it under the stairs!!" They were thrilled! I wish I had taken photos of them lugging the carpet (which is HUGE and exactly what we needed), up two flights of stairs.

I cannot express my gratitude enough for your kindness and generosity. I wish you could have seen their faces as we moved desks and unrolled the carpet. We took off our shoes and sat on the rug, no more cold tile! One of my students said that we were stylin'. We opened our other package which contained our reading materials and went over everything in the box! They were so attentive and curious! It was absolutely amazing!

Needless to say, we got carried away the morning our goodies arrived but it was all worth it!

On one of the last days of school, my students asked me if I was taking the carpet home. I told her no, it would stay in my classroom. She was pleased and giggled about how the new students I will get won't know how we got it! They think it's our little secret! Thanks for being a part of that joy in my students! We are so grateful to have been blessed with your kindness.”
