Good Afternoon KIX Country,
I’m emailing today on behalf of my girlfriend, Michelle Erbs. Michelle is a 1st Grade teacher at Blakesburg Elementary in the EBF school district. Some of many items that she has to buy for her classroom are listed below. I wanted to reach out to you guys because I heard about it on the radio and I see first-hand from her the struggle she has buying materials for her classroom on top of living expenses and paying off student loans for her Early Childhood Development degree. She does it though without a second thought as she enjoys teaching and the growth of her students.
Books
Sit-spots
Decorations
Writing materialsThanks,
Ryan Smithart
