I am overwhelmed. I thought I might receive a pack of pencils and a tissue box, (which I would have been 100% happy with) but my benefactor went so above and beyond for me. Not only did they send me a box of tissues, they sent me a total of 12 (that's right, 12!) boxes of tissues! Here are the other items I received:

*3 Packs of 6-Highlighter Packs in assorted colors *3 Packs of 24-Mechanical Pencil Packs in assorted colors *24 Individual Composition Books *1 Swingline Stapler

Two days ago I received the highlighters, pencils, tissues, and stapler and hadn't had a chance to post about it because I've spent the entire week setting up my classroom (school starts Monday). My husband sent me a message today with a picture of a package that arrived. To my surprise, it was the 24 composition notebooks. I was so excited to see those composition notebooks! That's almost an entire class set. If you're a teacher, you know what a big deal that is.

To the wonderful individual who took the time to purchase and send these supplies for my students: thank you. Thank you a million times. Thanks to you, my students will have a much more successful year because they will have something to write with and something to write on. Thanks to you, my classroom is ready for this coming flu season. Thanks to you, I am beyond excited to share these supplies with my students next week. I can't wait to share this experience with them.

I've added pictures of my classroom in case my Elf stumbles upon this post :)
