| My dad was in a serious accident a couple years before this and this picture made my mom feel ill. But I thought it was super cool! |
The next year was different. It was taught by a teacher from our school who did her best but the units weren't nearly as cool. I remember doing a lemonade stand one that was supposed to teach us business basics that dragged on for ages. As a 4th grader I was confused and frustrated. As an adult, I realize that funding must have gotten cut. And it stunk.
Which brings me to Schoola. Schoola is an online consignment store dedicated to recycling brand-name children's clothes, with a portion of the proceeds going to schools in need.
You can get rid of stuff your kids have outgrown, pick up a few super affordable things for this coming year, AND help schools in need get funding for the programs that make school fun and truly enriching. Win/win/win!
Yick Wo Elementary is just across the bay from where I grew up in northern California so their story touched my heart. My boys and I have been digging through their old clothing looking for stuff to donate. It has been a great chance to talk to them about helping and serving others and they're super excited about it!
Visit Schoola to donate your kid's outgrown clothes or do a little shopping for the upcoming year- either way you're doing a great thing for schools in need!

ReplyDeletelooks like such a wonderful program :) it's such a shame that art is one of the first things that gets cut from schools.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of Schoola before (mainly because I'm Canadian new to the USA -and- I don't have children.. yet). But I can imagine how helpful this would be as any parent, whether they're on a tight budget or not.
