My Secret Santa went completely above and beyond the call of the gift exchange! We exchanged several messages before he sent the gift along, because he wanted to make sure my students received what would be the absolute best for them, and I'm totally blown away by his generosity.

Thanks to him, all 150 of my ninth grade students will be starting the new school year next week with at least two snazzy name brand pens AND a hardcover notebook each (plus a pack of red pens to make the teacher very excited for the first essay she has to grade!). This is going to make journal entries, note-taking, and organization so much easier for my students, who are in a high-risk area, and usually can't afford supplies of their own.

I can't get over how thoughtful my Secret Santa was in making sure he found the best quality notebooks, never mind in his willingness to buy so many of a supply that's definitely not cheap! On behalf of my students, thank you a thousand times over!
