Thanks to the incredible generosity of Mrs. Crimi's class and this fourth grade class, together with donations and orders for calendars, we raised $498.06 to go towards Operation Shoebox! WOW!
Each shoebox costs $7 to ship, and each pair/trio of Character Partners will be packing one box, so that means we will be sending 20 boxes, which means, $140 goes to shipping.
That left $358.06 to spend on more things to put into the boxes (in addition to the many wonderful treasures students have already brought in!). So, Mrs. Crimi and I went to Target tonight and thoroughly enjoyed shopping for more supplies to fill the shoeboxes. The amazing thing was that after just tossing things in the cart, not keeping track at all of what we were spending, we spent $356.16. That's right, less than two dollars off of our total! So, we'll add eight more quarters to the goat tube to make up that difference.
Can't wait to pack the boxes tomorrow! I know these thoughtful kiddos will have fun stuffing the shoeboxes with all sorts of treasures!
