The numbers are in . . . another milestone achieved! 
 
Thanks to the support of our generous donors and dedicated volunteers, Crayons to Classrooms was able to serve 863 teachers and distribute $985,000 in merchandise during the first semester of the 2013-2014 school year!  That led our organization to another great milestone - passing the $4M mark in supplies distributed since opening our doors to teachers in January of 2009! 

 

Teachers are grateful for their "shopping" visits . . .
 

 

"Dear Crayons to Classrooms,
 
It has certainly been a pleasure to visit your "store" and reap the benefits of the generosity of the many community donations.  You and your contributors realize that teachers truly need all the support we can muster.  But, the true recipients of your efforts are the children of our communities.  What a blessing it is to have the materials we need to help our children learn!"
 
Sincerely,
 
Nancy L. McSherry, first grade teacher
Ruskin PreK-8 School
