There's nothing that makes me happier than being able help our elementary students and teachers.
We recently gave funds to J. E. Manch Elementary to help with whatever supplies they needed. Today we recieved 3 thank you notes: one from the school counseler, Ms. Pack, and 2 from students.
These absolutely made my day, so I'm sharing them with you.

This Monday we remember those who died protecting us and our country. We live in one of the greatest countries in the world because of their sacrifice. May they rest in peace knowing that we still remember and honor them.

Wishing everyone a holiday filled with laughter and joy. Thank you gfrom the bottom of my heart for the support you have given this year. It's been rough going due to so many needs, but we've managed to help more than 1,000 children. It certainly feels good to make a difference in so many lives.

We made a delivery of games, basketballs, footballs and soccer balls to Vegas Verdes Elementary on Friday. A separate shipment of 36 stuffed animals was delivered there today.
These are prizes given to the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students for participation in their annual testing. Attendance for this testing is crucial. This encouragement goes a long way.
We are very proud to support our local schools.

We are helping Vegas Verdes Elementary school fill their wish list of board games, stuffed animals, footballs, basketballs, soccer balls, scooters and bicycles.
We have already purchased all of the board games, but we still need 9 each of the basketballs, footballs and soccer balls. We also need 6 scooters, 6 bicycles (20") and any amount of stuffed animals.
Any donation will be greatly appreciated. Please contact me if you need to arrange a pickup.
