I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for the kind donation from you and your foundation. It is so nice to be recognized for the amount of money we spend in our classrooms each school year and to have the gift card from Wal-Mart was so wonderful!!! I bought a ton of school supplies that were still on sale for back to school, and also was able to purchase new bean bags and cushions for the back of my classroom in order to give the kids a place to feel comfortable during a variety of activities! I included a picture because I think it came out great. You would never know that the bench seat was once a book shelf I spray painted to match with the colors in my class and the pillows were outdoor cushions that were on sale for the end of summer ($4!!!) With an inexpensive body pillow cover in zebra pattern, it all came together perfectly.

Beyond what you did for our teachers, I know so many students benefited from your efforts to provide them with backpacks and school supplies. We know not every students is able to obtain the materials they need and because of you and your company these students will be well prepared for the school year.

With sincere gratitude,
