Grace received this note from Dave Hargrove, Director of Operations for Crayons to Classrooms:
“On behalf of the Board of Directors and staff of Crayons to Classrooms, please accept our deep appreciation for partnering with us to facilitate a school supply drive! Your generosity and hard work will assist our organization to stock the shelves of our teacher resource center. Your help in providing school supplies to teachers for their most at-risk students is very kind and generous. Crayons to Classrooms is striving to reach as many students in the Greater Dayton area as possible whose families live at or below the federal poverty line and cannot afford school supplies for their children. Teachers have shared that having essential tools for learning increases students’ self-esteem and self-confidence and their readiness to learn, and they are motivated to improve their grades and take their education to the next level.
“Our mission is so simple – to collect and distribute school supplies at no cost to teachers of students in need. We strive to encourage and affirm innovative teachers who work with our community’s young people.”
