A Fundraiser Giveaway for Our Friend Jen!

We teachers know all about journeys.  Many of us are getting ready to journey back to our classrooms to prepare for the new school year.  Each school year becomes a journey of sorts, with its own set of students, challenges, and rewards.

We teachers also know all about support.   Year after year, we give so much of ourselves to help our students learn, build confidence in their abilities, and empower them to become the future our world needs.  We also support our fellow teachers, our families, our communities.  In the midst of it all, it becomes easy to forget that, simply put, teachers touch lives.
 Every. Single. Day.

While many of us are thinking of back-to-school, Jen Bengel and her family have been preparing for a journey of another kind.  They will soon be traveling to Uganda to adopt a child!  Check out Jen’s blog post HERE! (Prepare to be inspired!)

A number of fellow teacher-bloggers have joined forces to offer a measure of support to Jen and her family as they prepare for their special journey.  Each of us has chosen a resource from our store that, between now and August 31, a portion of each sale’s proceeds will be donated to Jen’s adoption fund!

This is the resource I have chosen:

Between now and August 31, I pledge to donate $1 of each sale of this resource (my best seller!) to Jen’s adoption fund.

Teachers Notebook Helps Moore, OK

I don't know if you have heard, but Teachers Notebook decided to help Moore, OK by putting together a bundle of teacher-made products that people would get when they donate any amount from $20 to $100 to help benefit those in Moore, OK. I do not think they expected the overwhelming response they would get...

They received OVER $1,800 worth of teacher-made product donations from teachers, including myself.

SO, for a donation of $20, you will receive over $1,800 worth of product. For $25, you will receive this same $1,800 worth of product.

How amazing is that?

Click on the banner below to be taken to the donation site to make a donation.

Thus far, at the writing of this post, they have raised $23,175 for Moore, OK and I definitely expect them to raise so very much more! This amazing cause is one to support, as we all saw the devastation that this community faced in the aftermath of the horrific storm.

Head on over & make your donation and receive a FANTASTIC bundle of products in return!!

Have a good day, y'all.

Always keeping Moore, OK in my prayers & thoughts <3
