As the clock strikes back to school o'clock, a whole bunch of kids will be ready thanks to you all. Thanks to you all I spent over an hour loading a car up with so many things. To be precise, I loaded:
- 30 packs of Crayola markers
- 155 folders
- 35 pairs of scissors
- 52 binders
- 2 lunch bags
- 2 rolls of dry erase tape
- 2 packs of Sharpies
- 10 packs of pens
- 144 mechanical pencils
- 632 pencils
- 358 erasers
- 144 pencil sharpeners
- 100 notebooks
- 84 packs of crayons
- 25 packs of loose leaf paper
- 55 bottles of glue
- 135 glue sticks
- 22 packs of highlighters
- 72 pencil cases
- 12 packs of colored pencils
- 10 packs of note tabs
- 10 packs of note cards
- 34 rulers
- 72 backpacks
Did you catch that last thing? 72 backpacks. While every single thing on that list matters, that's a number that makes me smile. There are 72 good-quality backpacks headed to kids who wouldn't have them if not for you all.
Good job, you guys. Center for Victims will be able to take a little better care of their kids thanks to all of you who helped.
