Dear Friends of Crayons to Computers,
It is hard to believe that the first half of the school year is over! We've seen over 10,000 teachers visit through the Free Store & Mobile Outreach Programs. We've given away over 336,000 pencils, and we bet you still need more!
We have much to be grateful for as we look back on this year, and we are even more thankful and excited about what we have planned for 2017.
Amazingly, we will be celebrating 20 years of providing tools to achieve anything to teachers and students in Greater Cincinnati in February of next year. We will be recognizing this milestone in many ways throughout the course of 2017, and we look forward to sharing our successes and celebrations with each of you.
Here are a few simple ways for you to be a part of our "Cheers to 20 Years" Celebration:
- Send a thank you note to one of our generous donors and tell them what Crayons means to you and your students;
- Continue to shop with us in 2017 and let other teachers know about us; and
- Consider asking your friends and family to support our annual Holiday Campaign.
Our hope is that each pencil, each box of crayons and each glue stick that you bring back to your classrooms sparks imagination, excitement and learning for your students. Making futures brighter is what we are focused on for this holiday season and for the year ahead. Thank you for being a part of the Crayons to Computers family over the course of the past 20 years.
On behalf of the entire team at Crayons to Computers, we wish you and your students a happy and healthy holiday season!
Susan Frankel
President & CEO

In case of inclement weather, Crayons to Computers will make a decision by Noon if the Teacher Free Store will close, independently of any school district.
If closed, Crayons to Computers will be listed in the general school and business closings on local news channels WLWT, WCPO and WKRC. Closings will also be pos
ted via social media and on the Crayons to Computers

Crayons to Computers teamed up with 4C for Children for a special "Make-It, Take-It" workshop for Preschool Teachers and Child Care Providers in November 2016.
Participants created materials focused on literacy, math, science and gross motor activities that support the Ohio Early Learning and Development Standards and Kentucky Early Childhood Standards. Teachers then had the opportunity to shop for materials to further support their early childhood programs.
