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

So glad that you are able to minister to kids to give them the supplies that they need!
Thanks Susan! We love making a difference any way we can.
That’s great that you were able to help so many children and their families start the year in a positive direction!
Such a huge thing to have the children be able to start their year on a positive note. Thanks Melissa
How wonderful to be a positive part in the lives of others. I imagine that there were some pretty excited children!
Thanks Alice! they are always so excited! You’d think there was hundreds of dollars in each bag! I love their little hearts for that
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.
Thanks! we’ve been wanting to do for teachers, especially new teachers. We know they are underpaid and hopefully we can continue to do this in the future
It’s always a little sad when donations are down but ithankdul you were able to helpnao many with what you received!
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.
That is awesome. So glad you were able to collect and donate so many necessary items. – Amy
