LIFTING SPIRITS

 "And when you want something all the Universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."Paulo Coelho

With the new year came new requests. The need is still great! Choose To Care(CTC)(choosetocaresite.org), the nonprofit whose mission is to provide a brand new pair of shoes for the child in need; has continued its pledge to sponsor public school teachers' projects as it has done for years. This we do monthly through Donors Choose(donors choose.org), a trusted classroom funding site for teachers, which allows any interested person to sponsor a teacher's classroom of choice.

This month we are staying closer to home, heading to Charter School for Applied Technologies-Elementary School, Buffalo, NY. Ms. Spano, the 9-12th grades teacher called her project "Run Like The Wind." She requested track spikes for the many students whose families are unable to provide the proper running shoes that their children need.

CTC finds JOY in putting a smile on the faces of the children. CTC also finds pleasure in giving gratitude to the loyal and dedicated supporters by honoring each person, one month at a time to show that we CARE. Their generous and steadfast support have allowed us to continue on our journey. Thank you so much for making the past years so special.

We cannot forget about keeping the planet we live on as healthy as possible. Our effort, no matter how small will certainly make a difference. Let's start the new year off on the right foot.

Peace And Love
