Thank you so much for the extra money to spend on my classroom. This is the perfect time to have it while everything is on sale for the holidays. It is going to help me so much. I am already looking at cool items we can buy for upcoming experiments with the other 8th grade science teacher. You are a true blessing to this school. I am so thankful for all of the work you do! Thanks.”
