Sending Your Love to Joplin Teachers


Hi Everyone, 
I am so sorry for the double post tonight, but this is one that needed to get out as soon as possible. I was just blog hopping over to Little Miss Kindergarten's blog and saw this post....We all remember seeing the news last May when Joplin, Missouri was hit by a catastrophic  F5 tornado. And if you watched the final episode of Extreme Home Makeover tonight, we were also reminded of all the rebuilding that is ongoing. 

Many of you know the wonderful Dee Dee Wills. She received the following letter from a teacher in Joplin this week: 


I teach in Joplin, which made worldwide news last May when our town was cut in half by an F5 tornado.  Many of our elementary schools were destroyed or damaged, and as teachers, we have had a roller coaster year.  I came from a meeting yesterday where many are struggling with the weight of all we are dealing with.  My request is this:  would you be willing to donate a created pack of your choosing to give away at a drawing at our upcoming district Kindergarten grade level meeting?  The meeting is Monday and I am sorry for the short notice but I did not realize until the meeting how down everyone is feeling. 


Dee Dee is offering all of us the opportunity to give a little bit back to our fellow teachers in need of our love in Joplin. If you have a packet to give to these teachers, please go to Dee Dee's blog and link up and   send your TpT or Teacher's Notebook product to:

Let's show them our love! But hurry, they need it by Monday!

There is only Love,
Rebecca
