Generosity

Each holiday season a club at my school sponsors a "Dear Santa" drive where they get names from a semi local source of children and families in need. As in past years several of the math teachers band together asking donations from all thier classes. This year we had 5 families with a total of 28 family members that we were collecting for. As always my students came through. They raised $1353.83!!! Their generosity never ceases to amaze me. The students don't "get" anything from me for participating which makes their donations mean all the more. Combined with the other math teachers we had a little over $9000 to shower on the needy families. I am once again so proud of my kids!
