=Springfield Connects With Joplin=

====So many of our Springfield eMINTS teachers want to reach out and help the teachers and students from the Joplin School District. We have adopted a fifth grade classroom from Irving Elementary. The teacher's name is Mary Johnson. We hope to have several items gathered by the end of July to give Ms. Johnson plenty of time to set-up her room.==== ====As a teacher, Mary is looking out for her students first. She is requesting many books for her classroom. You can see a list of these books by going to the Donors Choose website. ==== Each of us is very much aware of how much teachers invest of their own money to make their classrooms comfortable safe enviornments. Let's help Mary do the same. Her theme is based on the outdoors "5th Grade...on the hunt for knowledge." She uses camouflage netting to cover bulletin boards, dried grass from craft stores, and 3-4 bean bags or lawn charis for the reading area. She is also in need of a rugfor all to gather on and read together.

We have created a separate page to keep track of the items donated so that we can use our resources wisely. If you choose to purchase an item please click on the discussion tab above and add your item to the first posting.
