Ms. Brunelle's classroom rebuild

On August 3rd, Krista Brunelle-Dugmore, a young teacher and newlywed was on her way to Salt Lake City, eager to begin her new life with her husband and start her job as a second grade teacher in a brand new school district. Unfortunately her happy adventure took a devestating turn when her trailer, loaded with her entire classroom's supplies, burst into flames. Luckily, no one was hurt but the fire destroyed all of her teaching materials.

As we are all aware, teachers spend thousands of their own dollars purchasing suppiles for their classrooms, and on an educator's salary a loss of this magnitude would be impossible to reconsile. Krista is going into her 6th year teaching and was only recently hired at a Title 1 school that is in downtown SLC and is 95%+ below the poverty level. She will be teaching the kids from the nearby homeless shelter and for many of her students, the books that were lost would be the only ones they would have access to.


Please contribute any amount to help get this extraordinary teacher back in her classroom!!
