One of my sisters has been a 3rd grade teacher for what seems like forever now.

Until recently, she spent a lot of her own money on extra supplies including books.  She discovered Donors Choose (501c3) and shared an initial request for donations a few weeks ago with her goal met very quickly.   She is now pursuing more books.  

If you are so inclined, take a look and consider opening doors by way of donation for her current and future 3rd graders in Michigan.   Thanks!

(For what it's worth, she's won awards for her mad teaching skillz, always has parents requesting her as their child's teacher, LOVES what she does and I'm very proud of her.)

What is the saying?...

If everybody here gave $2.00...

Done.
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Don't we all.    ;)

Too many good causes out there (and in our faces constantly through social media).  Never enough $.

Whenever I go to pet smart, they ask if I want to donate money for homeless pets. With six dogs, six cats, one tarantula and one leopard gecko, I give them my address so they know where to send the check.

I'm currently trying to build up a small library of kids books of my own. Lots of good stuff out there. Yard sales are a prime source.
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project.

One of you awesome knuckleheads made a semi-anonymous 3 digit donation (1st name only).

If you want to PM me your mailing address, the kids would love to send you a thank you (3rd grader notes are awesome!).

Otherwise, please know it was so very much appreciated.  My conservatively brilliant sister teacher is in awe of this group.
