Bag It Forward, Adopt-A-Classroom, Make a Difference, WIN A COMPUTER!

Have you ever wanted to make a difference, but you didn't know how? Well, I'm here to tell you how a simple post can make a huge difference in classrooms across the country.

Weeks ago, I began working with Collective Bias and Elmer's Glue on a campaign called Bag It Forward. If you've been paying attention to my sidebar, you may have noticed a button showcasing school supplies purchased from Wal-Mart as well. There is a great reason for all of this effort. Want to know how you can help?
