So we already started drawing names on Friday. We had some very excited students who came in and picked out treats. Then they, in turn, went back to their homerooms and shared how they won the treat. So students have been showing up on time for class to earn that Comet Coupon that goes into our drawing.\r\n\r\nThank you again for helping out my classroom.

We couldn't put the heat up past 58 in the wintertime or we couldn't pay for the heating bill. Now I'm grown, my mom remarried, and I had a great life, but I think about my students who might be sitting at home in a trailer that's 58°. It's knowing that they have warm hat and gloves, and warm cozy socks will help me sleep at night.\r\n\r\nRemoving just one of many barriers will ensure better attendance, and prevent them from falling further behind in their curriculum.
