I am stunned. I am overcome. I am honored to have been the recipient of such a gift. My santa went above and beyond; reaching out and making a connection from the start. They asked for the specific needs of my kiddos and delivered!

So many kids come to school unfed and tired, making it really hard for them to concentrate on their studies. My santa send some super great Chewy granola bars so that if I have a student who left the house without breakfast and doesn't have lunch until 1:15 and I'm supposed to teacher him about the elements of art, here, have a granola bar. If any of you understand the amazingness of quality art supplies, you will see that I got the best of the best here. You can have all the colored pencils you want, but if they are crap quality, the kids will destroy them in days. These are Prismacolor...THE best! And in fancy tins for my advanced studio kids to use! Micron pens are THE other fancy pants supply I let my student use. They are amazing and perfect and you should get yourself some of these things. We use them for Zentangles, which are line design pattern drawings. Nothing compares.

And, we all know, the infamous pencil cap eraser! I have held out this far, telling the kids "no no no the art gum erasers are better!" but they don't care, they want the cap kind. so here they are! And i can still say they weren't from me! Then, the topper on the cake: paint trays WITH COVERS!!! If you could see the old ones....maybe ill post a picture tomorrow....oy, they are disastrous and now we have new ones, with the best kind of pencil to use them on; Ticonderoga! I am so excited to have these supplies for my classes. You've really made a big difference, Santa! Thank you for reaching out and making a teacher in a small Maine town feel like she just won the lottery!
