This year she isn't getting any help with science supplies, and not always lab supplies either. She buys those out of pocket. In order to inspire her students, she presents one with a "Student of the Week" award...out of her own pocket also. The school doesn't have air conditioning, and it's pretty hot in her classroom - upstairs with no windows. She buys them bottled water and Otter pops to help cool it down, and brings in her own swamp coolers and fans to make it cooler. She also coaches soccer there, and spent $60 of her own money to repaint the soccer field since the school ran out. She stays on her own time, unpaid, after school to help students with her homework and do soccer coaching. I know this card would help her out so much - even if just for ink for the printers. They only get so many copies a year, and have to pay for anything over their allowance.

She is amazing with the kids and meets all of your requirements. She is a young teacher with a ton of passion for her career. She is always thinking of unique ways to get the kids excited about learning. My daughter has always struggled with school, the year she had Ms Patrona was our best year yet. She deserves the help from Office Max! I would love to nominate my past daughters teacher, Ms. Patrona. She is amazing with the kids and meets all of your requirements.

I teach kindergarten in rural South Carolina. This is my 32nd year teaching! I love it as much today as I did when I started! All of our school funds are frozen due to the budget cuts. With both of my sons in college, money at home is tight as well. The $100.00 would help buy crayons, pencils and paper for my students. Thanks for your consideration! mj.coward[at]gmail.com I’m gonna be really tacky and nominate myself. I teach kindergarten in rural South Carolina. This is my 32nd year teaching!
