A Letter From Cassy
Sometimes there just isn't anything eventful going on at work. Your day isn't bad, but it isn't amazing either. Then you open the mail to find a student thank you letter.
In case the image is too small to read we've re-printed Cassy's letter below, in her words. She writes:
Hello my name is Cassy. I'm in 5th grade. I like school. I thank you for the backpack. My mother said I had to use my broken one because she has no job. Mrs. Rivera gave me a new one, and a notebook, lots of pencils and erasers. I love it. Thank you.
Those few sentences made our day go from okay to awesome. To Mrs. Rivera, thank you for shopping at A Gift For Teaching so that your students can have the school supplies they need. Thank you Cassy, for making our day!

Playing For Change
A Gift For Music (AGFM), a program of A Gift For Teaching, is launching the Playing For Change campaign at the Baldwin Park Art Stroll.
Students from the AGFM orchestra will be performing music while you take a stroll to view the more than 40 artist exhibits. Just like the street musicians who open their cases while performing to accept donations from entertained passerby, AGFM will have a violin case open for donations. If you like what you hear, feel free to toss twenty-five cents, fifty cents, or even one dollar or more into the case.
This is the first of many Playing For Change performances scheduled to take place around Orlando. We will keep you posted as new performances are added. We hope you will be able to stop by and show your support on October 16th!
DATE: Friday, October 16, 2009
TIME: 6:30p.m.-7:30p.m.
LOCATION: Baldwin Park Village Center
