Donated School Supplies: The Students and I Feel Very Strongly About Helping Those in Need

Here's a heart-warming story from a school in New York - as told by Kristen - the Teacher

I am a college student in an education program and have been working in a second grade classroom in Rochester, NY. The students and I feel very strongly about helping those in need. We came across this site one day during a study of Africa and the kids instantly became eager to help. We have collected the following supplies: Pens/Pencils, Markers/Crayons/Colored Pencils/Paints, Construction Paper, Scissors/Glue/Tape/Staplers, Notebooks/Folders/Filler Paper, Classroom Decorations, Learning Flashcards, Pencil Cases, and other various supplies.

This is a photo of my class and the box of supplies they have collected. So glad we could help!
