Christmas Crazy in July Slash August Slash HOLY SMOKES IT'S TIME FOR SCHOOL

As the clock strikes back to school o'clock, a whole bunch of kids will be ready thanks to you all. Thanks to you all I spent over an hour loading a car up with so many things. To be precise, I loaded:

• 30 packs of Crayola markers
• 155 folders
• 35 pairs of scissors
• 52 binders
• 2 lunch bags
• 2 rolls of dry erase tape
• 2 packs of Sharpies
• 10 packs of pens
• 144 mechanical pencils
• 632 pencils
• 358 erasers
• 144 pencil sharpeners
• 100 notebooks
• 84 packs of crayons
• 25 packs of loose leaf paper
• 55 bottles of glue
• 135 glue sticks
• 22 packs of highlighters
• 72 pencil cases
• 12 packs of colored pencils
• 10 packs of note tabs
• 10 packs of note cards
• 34 rulers
• 72 backpacks

Did you catch that last thing? 72 backpacks. While every single thing on that list matters, that's a number that makes me smile. There are 72 good-quality backpacks headed to kids who wouldn't have them if not for you all.

Good job, you guys. Center for Victims will be able to take a little better care of their kids thanks to all of you who helped.
