First Grade Holiday Magic!

As many of you know, I am in my twelfth year of teaching in Baltimore City-TWELVE YEARS! I always say this, but I have the most amazing class. The students are empathetic, open-minded and so respectful. As the relentless learners they are, my beautiful babies are learning how to navigate the many challenges of life as well as the many challenging concepts and skills of first grade. Like any other child, my little ones are incredibly excited about the upcoming holiday season.

Now you ask-where do I come in? For the past eleven years, due to many generous donations, I have been able to bring holiday cheer to my outstanding students by surprising them with gifts right before break. I am asking you to help me make a child's year and put a smile on the faces of the most deserving children. I want to buy each of my students a gift at about $40, so I am looking for about $1000 in total.

If you do not end up donating, thank you for taking the time to read through this. If you do, I honestly thank you from the bottom of my heart. For the last eleven years, my students' reactions have been something I could never forget and I hope to do the same for these little loves! Anything will help and let it be known now that if you do not donate anonymously, you will receive a "Thank You" Card with lots of love! Thank you again for your support! Here's to a beautiful holiday season!
