I need a little help, Athens!

We’re bringing the Classroom Giveaway back to Meet the Teacher Night, and I’m still hoping we can fully fund one classroom lunch before the big night.

Last year, you guys absolutely blew me away and helped us surprise TWO classrooms. This year we’re keeping it simple: we’re looking for a few people who would like to pitch in $25 toward one classroom lunch + a little something special for the winning student and teacher.

If you’d like to be one of them, comment below or send Hello, Athens a message. I’ll take care of the rest!

And truly—thank you. This little project only works because people in this community are willing to jump in with me. ✨

We're excited to be returning to Cantrall’s Meet the Teacher Night—and even happier to announce that we're bringing back our Classroom Giveaway ✨ Students can be entered to win a sponsored lunch for their entire classroom by having fun with our bingo activity!

We're looking generous community members to sponsor the giveaway in $25 increments as we work toward our $300 goal. Those funds will cover one classroom lunch, along with a special surprise for the winning teacher and student. Last year, you all showed up in such a big way that we were able to celebrate TWO classrooms instead of one. We'd love to see what we can do together this year!

Check out the comment below if you’d like to donate electronically, send us a message, or email [email protected].

A big thank you to the Athens Municipal Library for organizing this great community event! Let's kick off the school year with a little extra joy—and bless a local classroom while we're at it. ✨

This pic was definitely at night, because the parking lot is never that empty 😉
