We are grateful for a generous community

Tis the Season for Giving!

We have so many wonderful people in our community, along with their extended families. It warms my heart to share this news with our community: Recently, we sent home a fundraiser packet with our students, that was not a door-to-door selling opportunity. This was something we felt was a good fit, especially for our youngest students. 

School Store is an organization that pools together businesses willing to support classrooms with financial donations. Family and friends that receive an email from a student at Staples-Motley Elementary can donate a certain amount of money that will go to the classroom teacher in the form of a gift certificate. Teachers can then redeem the gift certificate at the School Store website to purchase a variety of classroom supplies to help with educating our students. 

Our teachers do their very best to stretch the budgets they have to buy needed supplies, and I know that they dig into their own pockets many times to do fun and cool things to enhance the education of our students. With our School Store fundraiser, our community raised $3,700 - which was allotted to our teachers this past week. 

What a Christmas present to be shared with ALL students of Staples-Motley Elementary. We are blessed to live in such a caring community that supports our young students as we all work so hard to help these kids reach for their dreams! 

Thank you from our family at Staples-Motley Elementary to all of you who were able to give such generous donations in supporting our school. 

Wishing you the happiest of holidays and a wonderful New Year!
