Special Announcement: Double The Donations Donors Choose #FillEveryShelf Campaign Starts TODAY!

I am thrilled to share that today is the beginning of a special 5 day campaign with Donors Choose:  #FillEveryShelf .  What is this awesome campaign?

Right now, any contribution you make to my project will be doubled by a group of anonymous donors. This is an amazing opportunity for my classroom! Your donation will brighten my students’ school year, and you’ll get heartfelt thank yous from my class and photos of your gift in action.

Here’s my classroom request:

Tuesdays With Poetry

To have your donation matched, just make a contribution on that page.  Donations will be doubled automatically, but only while funding lasts through this Friday.

Thank you for considering a gift to my classroom and students!
