Wow! What a great response we have gotten. We have some really great teacher nominations- we are up to 10! And we have had a couple donations of supplies and money as well. We have started to do a "little" shopping of our own. Check out the stock we have so far:
So what do we do now?
Well, we will stop taking teacher nominations at the end of June so we can figure out exactly how many teachers we will be able to help out and exactly what kind of supplies/gift cards to get.
So keep the nominations coming up until Thursday, June 30th at 11:59 pm.
Then the nomination form will come down and we can get to work on putting together the teacher packages!

Also, we need to keep the donations coming as well. These teachers are amazing, and like we said before we are already up to 10 and probably growing. Ideally we want to help each one and make a big enough impact to actually help them out during the school year. We are doing everything we can as far as time and money to make that happen, but there's only so much we can do. Without a doubt these teachers will feel the love and support from what we have already collected, but it would be so great to be able to give them more and help them not have to come out of pocket for the year! We have included a shopping list of ideas (or you can come up with your own!).
