I got my blouse, heels, and my girl’s top and the gold flats from thredUP, my favorite fashion resale company that I talked about previously. I just love this store so much! And guess what? They came across that blog post and have asked me to become their ambassador! I am so excited.
Another thing that makes me love thredUP even more is that they have partnered with AdoptAClassroom.org to recognize and thank teachers for their hard work. I get pretty fired up and passionate when I talk about teachers and how the government should higher their salary and stop cutting budgets to schools because the teachers are literally shaping the future of America. I don’t understand how so much money is spent on sports when in the end, they don’t make you a better person, and it’s solely for just entertainment. Teachers dedicate so much of their time and money into their students and what they do is so honorable. I always said you have to be not worldly and truly selfless if one wants to become a teacher. I love teachers and I think they deserve so much better such as better maternity leave, higher pay and more funds for their schools.
So how this Raise A Hand for Teachers Program works is, anyone can nominate a teacher between July 15 – August 23 that they think deserves an award and three teachers each win $2,500 for classroom supplies and $500 to thredUP. 50 runner-up winners receive $100 to thredUP. Teachers are extremely generous with their time as well as their money. According to AdoptAClassroom.org, teachers spend an average of $500 of their own money each year to equip their classrooms. 70% of teachers have even purchased apparel items like jackets, socks and shoes for their students. Read the inspiring nominations and watch an adorable video of kids thanking teachers, plus find new survey data from AdoptAClassroom.org at thredUP.com/Teachers. The winners will be announced on September 8th.
I have personally nominated my daughter’s Kindergarten teacher, my daughter graduated from Kindergarten over a year ago but she still talks about her and asks if we could go visit her so she could give her a hug. Her teacher made her feel loved, special, unique and confident in learning and I’ll forever love and respect her for that! My kids spend just as much time with their teachers as they do with me which is a little scary and sad, but having a good teacher is so important to the kids and to me.
Remember to share details of a teacher you are nominating, e.g.: I nominated [name] from [school] who [relationship to you]. [Reason for nomination.]

Hey there! Someone in my Myspace group shared this website with us so I came
to take a look. I’m definitely loving the information. I’m bookmarking
and will be tweeting this to my followers! Superb blog and brilliant design and style.
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout
of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people
could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of
text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?
I do agree with all of the ideas you’ve introduced on your post.
They are really convincing and can definitely work.
Nonetheless, the posts are too brief for starters. Could you please lengthen them a bit from
subsequent time? Thanks for the post.
