Crayons to Computers is a wonderful organization that has supplies to supplement for the teachers. Everything from bulletin board helps, crafts, prizes for students, equipment for the teachers, unlimited books, needed supplies for the students and much more. The only down side is that it can be hard to get a date to volunteer. It has been a huge blessing to our school and to my classroom for a number of years. I appreciate what each of the staff do, in providing for so many. Sincerely, Debbie Berger CCA, Independence . KY
