"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. ~Anne Frank
Much of my life is often involved with nature. Last week I celebrated nature through the amazing experience of the eclipse. This week, nature showed us she still is in charge no matter what we have created or learned to do that we believe makes life better. Whether we live close or far away, we'll need to be helping coastal Texas for a long time.
I imagine you've all seen the long list of places that welcome donations. And I have given. But I will always be a teacher, and while I've watched the news often, all I've seen about schools is that they're closed, at least for this week. And I think there must be a lot of schools and teachers who will need to fill classrooms all over again with equipment and supplies and books! The priority now is to save people and help them save their homes if possible. But soon, remember the teachers, too. I've wished many good wishes as the new year is beginning, and now hope we can all help those teachers in need, and therefore, the kids!
FYI - Kate Messner has started fundraising with "Kitlit Cares" where many authors and illustrators are offering literacy experiences for schools and classrooms with a bid that will help the needs of the storm victims. Look here for the posts!
