    So awesome. This is the kind of stuff that we should focus on. Less fighting, more helping less fortunate children please.

    Thanks for sharing Beet. And, strangely enough, we share the same financial philosophy. I always tip 20% or more (except if the service is really lousy) and put money in the Salvation Army bucket, etc. Whereever there’s a place to put a few extra bucks. I know it’ll come back to me in the end. We’ve just got to put it out there.

    I hate to rain on the parade, but I’ve been on the receiving end of these before (way back when) and know that the majority of the kids really couldn’t care less about you or any of the donors. I mean, they’re obviously happy about getting the gifts and all, but there’s a good chance they were forced to do it by their teacher. You guys really don’t remember? The teacher’ll be like,”and make sure to add specific details to make it sound genuine” and other crap like that…and you can’t go to recess until you finish.

      Yeah, of course they’re form letters, but it’s still really exciting that these kids are getting these learning materials and know that they’re coming from donations from complete strangers who care about them.

    As a HS teacher in a low performing school, I am so excited to see this possibility for donations! I’ll have to get my info together and submit our current projects for assistance.

    Seriously cute letters…but I’m a little bitter about the thank you notes on the beakers. They are making chap stick, lotions and soaps? WTH? It’s like a Bath & Body Works in the classroom. I’m only pissed that I didn’t get to do cool crap like that in school.

      I’m a high school senior, and last year in chemistry we made chap stick. Other kids I know who attend other schools have also made it. Maybe it’s common nowadays?

    Something tells me these kids would be learning a lot more if they were reading THIS blog!

    Nice story. Helping the chillrins and all. And it’s awesome that Evil Beet anonymously donated $250 in honor of Evil Beet readers.

      Dude, if it had been me, I would have been like, “Hey, guess what I did in your honor?” I also would have done it in OCTOBER, when it would have gone toward Evil Beet’s ranking in the Blogger Challenge. I swear I didn’t do it, and I don’t know who did.
