Back to School 2017

Back to School 2017

I want to say a HUGE Thank you to those who made a difference in the life of students and teachers this year! You are a hero and I’m so thankful for your heart for others and that you partnered with Spreading Joy to impact lives with JOY!

At Spreading Joy we firmly believe in doing what you can with what you have and the ripple effect will be endless! Click To Tweet Little things matter and they all add up! Click To Tweet

I was a little sad that the donations for Back to School was less than usual…way less, but instead of trying to reach for a large number and give each child less items, we did what we could while keeping the back packs full of basic back to school supplies.

Because you have a heart of gold, 230 children received a bag full of the following:

  • Entire pack of pencils (8)
  • Entire pack of pens (10)
  • Pack of coloring pencils
  • Box of Crayons
  • 2 spiral notebooks
  • Glue stick

We were also able to help 6 New Teachers this year.  The first year of teaching can be expensive with supplies, decorations and such that are need.

Thanks to your Generosity They each received:

  • Case of copy paper
  • White boards
  • Paper
  • Pencils
  • Pens
  • Sticky Notes
  • Dry erase markers
  • Tape

Your gifts, Social Media shares and supply donations made all of this possible and will have a positive impact on all that received these items this year! Thank you!

It has to Start with you!

Thanks for caring, giving, sharing and Spreading Joy with us!

You matter!

    Education is so important and the little things – like supplies for both students and teachers – are often times overlooked as important. Good, quality supplies are vital! Thanks for helping care for those that need them.

      You are so correct Kristi but if we didn’t walk the walk, we couldn’t talk the talk 🙂 I just remind myself…loaves and fishes.
