I've joined the Elmer's Bag It Forward Meme thanks to Dutchbeingme
By writing this post, I'm helping to donate $10 in school supplies to Adopt-A-Classroom and having a son who attends school with kids whose families can't afford to purchase supplies for the classroom, I know how hard it is for teachers to make do with what they get... Liam's teacher already supplies many of the classroom extras she needs out of her own pocket and Elmer's participation in Adopt-A-Classroom will help make her life and the lives of other teachers in similar situations easier...
I'm going to pay this forward by sending a virtual bag of supplies to a few of my favorite bloggers:
Hallee from Hallee the Homemaker
Heather from Out of the Box and Into the Kitchen
Outnumberedmama at The Busy Woman's Guide to Surviving Motherhood
and YOU - even if I didn't tag you directly, you can still participate in this wonderful campaign...
here's how it works:
Elmer’s will donate up to $10,000 to Adopt-A-Classroom with your participation. Join now!
