I am the principal of a low socio-economic school. Each semester when my teachers get to go "shop" for classroom supplies and resources, there is an excitement in the air. The teachers feel such a sense of relief that they do not have to spend their own money on the basic supplies that their students cannot bring to the classroom. Some of the most beloved items have been the knitted hats and the decorative folders that our students often cannot afford. Crayons to Classrooms brings joy to the teachers and the students at my school.
