No Apples, No Kidding
The No Apple restriction has been lifted! Any teacher participating in our Thank You Note program may now double the limit on previously restricted items. This includes basics/core items, like pencils, notebooks, markers, and crayons. This is a great opportunity to receive extra items for your students and thank our generous donors. If you have questions about the Thank You Note program, please ask a staff member or volunteer next time you shop!
