Working within the Dayton Public Schools, I serve many low income children who do not have the school supplies they need to learn. When obtaining these supplies each year, I get to assist the families by suppling needed school supplies which allow the children to have a greater self esteme and desire to learn.

This is truly an amazing program ran by Mrs. Seger. It helps me to be able to give to my students and not go broke. The students feel good because they have what others have. Sometimes the parents just can't get the things their child needs to succeed. I just had a bout with cancer, so the money was a little tight this year, but with Crayons to Classrooms I'm making it and so are the students here at Blairwood. I have used a lot of the materials for incentives and I have seen a big improvement in the students. Crayons to Classrooms you are my hero! Karen McKenzie

My students and I are so fortunate to benefit from the generosity and wonderful work of Crayons 2 Classrooms. The supplies given to us are appreciated so much and the volunteers couldn't be more kind and helpful. The whole experience is almost too good to be true!

I'm the "volunteer" volunteer coordinator intern here at Crayons to Classrooms, and I'm here to say that DC2C, albeit a small organization, has the biggest heart! The staff is friendly and the environment and culture of DC2C is so welcoming and heart-warming. This organization does exceptionally well with keeping their mission and vision in mind - it's all about the education of our youth. DC2C has astounded me again and again with its generosity, and I'm amazed at how generous our community can be! Our volunteers and donors are so passionate and unique. Our teachers and their students are very creative, compassionate and appreciative. I cannot be more thrilled to work with such an outstanding nonprofit! As a student in Public Administration, working here has been eye-opening!

C2C is an amazing organization that helps teachers, who use money from their own household to help better the education of young learners. My students don't have a lot, especially supplies to help conduct their every day education and without the generosity of others my students wouldn't be able to enrich their education. Thank you!

I am a teacher who has had the opportunity to come to Crayons for Classrooms and get supplies for my classroom. I spend a lot of my own money to buy things for my students, both incentives and supplies. It is wonderful to have an organization that helps us out with items that we can use. I applaud you!!

What would we do without the generosity of others? We (teachers) spend countless dollars buying things for our classrooms. Going to Crayons to Classrooms is like Christmas! We get to select items we can use in the classroom to help teach fundamentals. The art supplies are a teacher's dream! We also get "office supplies" which help us operate our classrooms effeciently. What a difference a package of sticky-notes can make. With the schools having less money to supplement our supplies, the Crayons to Classrooms bridges an important gap. Thank you so much for being there for us. We will be forever A grateful Dayton Public Schools teacher

I teach 2nd grade in an innercity school in Dayton, Ohio. My students are mostly just plain poor or working poor. The building is new and very nice, and we have textbooks, but not much else. The families do not have the money to provide much in the way of supplies for their kids. Every year I spend hundreds of dollars on supplies for the kids and for me to use in my teaching. EVERYTHING from Craytons to Classrooms helps, even the little things like a handful of pencils or couple fresh dry erase markers or a jar of tempera paint or glitter for a holiday project. Paper of many kinds. Little notebooks, binders, and other fancy little things I can give to deserving kids to booster them up a little. They have a hard life, these little ones! My favorite thing about Crayons to Classrooms is that it gets my creative juices flowing. When I see something interesting on one of their shelves (and it may be something a little different/strange), right away I start figuring out how I can use it to teach my kids something, or what I can have them make from it, or how they can get excited about learning by using it. Last time we even got a bunch of BVDs for the boys - important items! Try teaching someone who has wet his pants and the underwear drawer is empty.

Late one dreary afternoon last winter, after a lonnnnng day teaching my darling but demanding and highly vocal kindergartners, Crayons to Classrooms took me in and showered ME with attention. And gifts. Crayons and all kinds of wonderful school supplies and unusual things that spark interesting projects for the kids, yes, but also special stuff just for ME. The shiny black rotating caddy with a dozen different compartments that makes it a snap for ME to grab a band-aid, clip (each size in its own spot), the right pen or marker, and all those little things I don't have time to look for in a drawer while 29 kids are getting ideas. The extra wastebasket next to MY desk. The sturdy notebook with the pretty cover (MY favorite color) where I keep a log of all kinds of important things that go on each day. The very cool silver desk lamp doorprize I WON! It was like going to a teacher spa! I left Crayons to Classrooms feeling revived and well-equipped and raring to go again. P.S. The kids keep asking for the "magic" carbonless copy paper you gave so they can write more little stories! Lucky ME!
The Great!

Such an amazing program for all teachers. But as a first year teacher the help I got was so needed. Teachers have to subsidize a lot of their work, but as a new teacher it's hard to afford. I only wish we had enough donations to support opening earlier in the school year!

Crayons to Classroom has provided many teachers with materials that are useful and appreciated. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to have visited the store several times. With each and every trip I have come away with a wonderful array of items that I use in my classroom and share with my students. Thanks to Crayons to Classroom my students are well supplied.
