My 9th grade Pre-Algebra teacher was an amazing teacher! He made me believe in myself by him believing in me! He lifted the math block that I had and gave me the confidence I needed to do well. My first (and only) A+ in a math class! I wish I could contact him now so I could share with him the impact he had on my life.

My 5th grade teacher had the patience of a saint and she taught with such fervor, everyone learned and wanted to continue to learn.

My grandkids don’t need the backpack, so if I won this I would donate it to the school so that a needy child would benefit.

The teacher who inspired me the most was my grade 6 teacher Miss Markle. I loved her so much and she taught me so many things about life. Funnily enough my mom taught her when she was in Kindergarten. I would give this lovely backpack to my birth grand-daughter Madeleine, who is now 10. Thank you for the opportunity!

The teacher that inspired me is me! I taught junior high for 9 years, and I had to draw on my inner self to keep going in the classroom sometimes. Now I’m a stay at home mom with my three little girls. I would give these supplies to them.

My kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Pearman, inspired my love of learning. I always returned to visit her throughout school and she even attended my wedding. She was a wonderful influence on hundreds/thousands of children.

My kindergarten teacher was the kindest, most dedicated and patient teacher I had. It’s been over 40 years since I was in her class, but I still remember everything about her and how wonderful she was.

I would give this backpack to a school in a disadvantaged area so several children could get the supplies they are lacking.

After looking at the list of items included in this giveaway, all three of my children would benefit. However, my youngest daughter would the most. She is currently learning to read and the LeapFrog Tag reader would be great.

Thank you,

My senior year, I took C.O.E (cooperative education). I was able to leave school after third period and went to work in an office setting. My C.O.E. teacher was battling cancer. She showed up with bells on everyday even though it was obvious that she did not feel well. She lost her battle that year. This was a hard pill for us senior’s to swallow. However, I still think about her and how she tried to hide how she really felt on a daily basis.

I have three school aged children. This would come in handy with the amount of school supplies I have to purchase all year long.

Thank you,

My 6th grade teacher inspired me by caring about me personally! One time she took out all the top students to pizza and this was amazing to me since I had never been out for a pizza before, it was awesome! If I win I will give this back pack to my son, he loves the Wimpy kid series!

The teacher who inspired me to excel was Mr. O’Leary who was my high school world history teacher. He offered rewards for acheivement as a class and made sure that we were focused on our studies. I can still hear him saying, “stay on task” to us and I that was more than a decade ago.

I would give this backback to my daughter so that she can stay on task while learning to navigate the wonder of school this year as a Kindergartener.

Mrs. Coleman, my Freshman English Teacher encouraged me to ‘always’ strive to ‘DO MY VERY BEST’ in everything I do!

She also ‘inspired’ me to pursue a career in creative writing!

Miss Ramsey was my 3rd and 5th grade teacher, and she inspired me because she believed in me and took the extra time out to make me feel special.

The teacher who inspired me most was Ms. Matheson. I had her for different subjects throughout high school and she was always very patient with everybody.

I would give the backpack to my son’s friend’s mom. She has 5 children staying with her (not all hers) so she doesn’t have a lot of money for the “extras” this backpack would provide.

Though I’m sure I had a teacher that was inspiring (although my mind is a blank right now!) my son’s 3rd grade teach was incredible! I have a son who hated to read, it was torture every evening getting him to read his 20 minutes until this teach gave my son a copy of “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”… this was before the movie. He was hooked, and because of her generosity, I now have a son who wants to read! I’ll never forget it or her!

My 7th and 8th grade math teacher. She was so hard on me that I felt she was picking on me. I came to realize that she just knew that I could do it if I pushed myself. Thanks to her I excelled in math and still do. I would give this to both of my girls. thank you!

My American History teacher in high school was inspiring (and awe-inspiring!) – he had the most calm, quiet manner to him, yet he imparted so much knowledge so easily… I still think of him and marvel at his abilities! If I were to win the backpack, it would be split between my daughter and son so they could both enjoy the products/prizes!!

Many thanks!!
