re: Buy your own school supplies

I take a different approach to helping kids. I don't donate to 'Stuff the Bus.'

However, I know a couple of public elementary school teachers so I ask them every year what do the kids need who can't afford their supplies.

I then go to Target or Office Depot and buy a cart full of pencils, paper, rulers, scissors, glue, colors, markers, etc. and give the stuff to those teachers. They hand it out to the kids who need it and they also share with other teachers at their school.

I'm not going to let kids be embarrassed and suffer for the poor decisions of their parents.
