Where There's A Pencil, There's A Way!

Funded Feb 14, 2006

What a wonderful Valentine's Day gift! Thank you for providing us the means to a very important end: a sharp pencil for a well-authored story, a challenging math equation and though-out reader response!

Today our class had a very exciting day. We prepared over 100 Valentine's cards and spent the afternoon singing, delivering our cards and helping our new friends at a local senior center make cards. My students felt proud to share love with deserving community members; they were glowing all the way home (and I imagine all evening!). It was apparent they realized today that giving is a true gift for all involved. I think that when I share with them that someone (they don't even know) has decided to give a gift to them--just because they believe in them and know they will use the resource in order to do their best--the purpose of our visit to the senior center today will resonate.

Thank you again”

With gratitude,
