31 Gifts Thursday
This past Thursday (March 27th), we had some lovely 31 Gifts consultants help out in our store! They helped bag the teachers' items, and also brought some goodies of their own to raffle off. Their pink tote bags are one of many teachers' favorite items in our store! We're so happy to be working with 31 Gifts! Thanks for your support :)

Our Friend Sam
Have you met our friend Sam yet? If you've seen our Facebook recently, you might have. If not, allow us to cordially introduce you to our newest pal: Sam Nicholaisen.

Here's Sam with our fund development manager, Deb.
|
Sam is a 6th grade student at Harman Elementary School in Dayton. He wants to be an elementary art teacher someday.
Recently, Sam made a presentation to the Oakwood Rotary Foundation, and asked them to support Crayons to Classrooms for his upcoming Bar Mitzvah service project. Sam secured an award of $500 for DC2C! Pretty amazing, right? Just wait-- it gets better.
Sam is also facilitating a school supply drive in his neighborhood to benefit DC2C. This is also part of his Bar Mitzvah service project. We couldn't be more grateful for or impressed by his efforts.
Thanks Sam, you rock! Thanks Oakwood Rotary Foundation for your support!

Time for some Spring Cleaning Ah, springtime. You know what that means? SPRING CLEANING TIME. Before you groan at the idea of chores, hear us out! We're not talking dusting and wiping down windows-- we're talking an office clean-out session. Cleaning out your office not only organizes your work space, but it can also really help the teachers in our community. Wondering how? Why, by donating any items you no longer need to Crayons to Classrooms! Any useable items your office no longer needs will go onto the shelves of our Teacher Shopping Center, ready to be "purchased" by our teachers. What kinds of items are we looking for? If you no longer need: Then consider donating it to Crayons to Classrooms. Teachers can make good use out of all of these items, even ones that you think might be useless to others (like the letterhead, for example). If you have questions about any items, please check with us BEFORE throwing it away!! Teachers greatly appreciate useable office supplies and desk-top accessories. If they shop for their classroom, they are not purchasing items to make their life easier or to help with organization; they are purchasing pencils, paper, crayons, etc. - items that their students need most. But, we think those teachers deserve to make their lives a little easier too, don't you agree? If you have any of these items, please consider donating them. You might no longer need them, but someone else might. Please contact Deb Seger (fund development manager) with any questions, by phoning (937) 528-6403 or emailing, d.seger@dc2c.org. |

Honor a Teacher
Teachers do so much, why not honor them? Please consider making a gift to DC2C in honor/memory of a teacher. Why not honor a teacher who has recently completed his or her's master's program, is retiring, or has made an impact? It's also great for people who have everything and you don't know what to purchase for them for their birthday, etc.! Gifts for any occasion can be arranged, and certificates can be provided to be shared with the honoree.
These gifts can be made online or donors may contact Deb Seger directly by telephoning 937-528-6403 or emailing d.seger@dc2c.org.
