At A Gift For Teaching, teachers shop in our Free Store for their classrooms and students. Because we don't always have direct contact with the kids it is even more special when we receive thank you notes from them. This one is from Yodine, a third grader. We think she's the best too!

Toys From Tyler
AGFT presents Toys From Tyler with gifts! Pictured above (left to right): Angela Youtz, AGFT Development Coordinator Katie Moore, Nicole Youtz, AGFT Director of Development Valerie Mardle, Tyler Youtz (holding puppy Daisy), AGFT President Jane Thompson, AGFT Development Manager Meredith Bekemeyer
As a non-profit organization, A Gift For Teaching is appreciative of the many gifts bestowed upon us throughout the year. We're even happier that we were able to give back. Please join us in supporting nine year old philanthropist Tyler Youtz and his holiday toy drive for the children at Arnold Palmer Hospital.
After beating stage IV cancer in 2005, Tyler created “Toys From Tyler, Inc.” as a way to give back and help others in need. For the last five years, Tyler has collected toys for the children that now rest in those hospital beds.
This year’s toy drive is in honor of Shelli DeSimone and her continued battle against cancer. Tyler’s Goal is 1,000 Toys!!! If you would like to help Tyler reach his goal and bring smiles to the faces of hundreds of children, email him today and start donating!
For information on donating e-mail angelayoutz@yahoo.com or log onto Tyler's Web site at www.toysfromtyler.com.

Hangers Cleaners Coat Drive
Students in Central Florida may not have stories of walking to school uphill (both ways) in a blizzard.
But with more than half of our students unable to afford lunch a lot of them are walking to school unprepared to face the challenges of the day, whether they come from a difficult homework assignment or Mother Nature.
You can help!
- Donate a gently-used coat to any Hangers Cleaners location.
- Hangers will clean it for FREE and deliver it to A Gift For Teaching, where teachers from high-need schools will be able to "shop" for free for their students in need.
Hangers will be collecting coats through March 2010!
