Dear Friend, Your gift was extremely generous. When I signed up for this Reddit gift exchange, I could never have imagined the generous gifts I would receive! As I opened the boxes, I literally had tears in my eyes. I haven't been able to purchase new supplies for my classroom due to financial reasons. This generosity makes access to supplies a dream come true for me and my students. It is wonderful to know that in a crazy world that is so critical of education, that there are still people that support education and teachers. I love my job every day and these supplies will bring smiles to the faces of my students. The 8 packs of markers and 8 packs of colored pencils will help with creativity and projects. The 12 pairs of craft scissors will come in handy for projects as well! The 12 rulers will help with our labs in Psychology as we measure things often and I never have enough rulers. Every student will have the chance to use their own ruler now! We use index cards for a million things including: vocabulary, class games, exit passes, information collection, and assessment. The 8 packs you sent will last me a long time and I love the bright colors, the students will love them! The expo markers will be amazing. Each student gets their own mini white board and we use them in class to share answers, assess, and practice skills. These markers will make all the difference as I never have enough and they are pricey. Every student will be able to use a marker now! I love the hand sanitizers, those are always helpful when cold season comes around! The wall decals with the countries is amazing! I can't wait to put it up in my classroom. The Staples gift cards will definitely be put to good use. I will most likely buy some notebooks, folders, and glue. I am excited to see what other supplies I can pick up at Staples. Lastly, I am so thankful for the Starbucks gift card, that is such a treat! It was clear that you thought of the students and you thought of me in selecting your gift. Your generosity in unparalleled and I sincerely thank you for your support of education. I can't thank you enough and I feel so lucky to have been matched with you. You have made setting up my classroom for this school year a great joy! I am so inspired by your generosity and I am brainstorming ways to pay it forward. Thank you again! Most sincerely, Jaclyn O.
