As I was strolling through the aisles, salivating over the selection, that just a "normal" Target doesn't have, a thought occurred to me. Why not put a little "care package" of school supplies together for my favorite teacher's classroom? This would only cost me maybe another fifteen bucks, and it might put a smile on the face of some student who didn't get to do their BTS shopping at a Super Target.
Then I had another thought. What if something like this is already in place? What if the PTA or another organization already organizes something like this to help the students? After a two minute search on the web, I found that this is a very common practice. Communities and school systems are doing this all over the country! This is great!
Alas, another thought came to mind. I had a lot of thoughts in that Super Target. SO What! What if it's not being done in my town? Then the kids will suffer! So I decided to do it. And I encourage all of you to do it as well. You don't have to spend a ton, just get a list of the required school supplies for a child in a specific class and make it happen! If you can afford to, make it happen multiple times!
Folks, with unemployment and underemployment and the economy and all of these factors going against us, we can only count on one another. Do this small act if you can and I know you will make a huge difference in the life of a child on the first day of school!
