EDUCATORS, please feel free to post your amazon links below in the comments.

Many are asking what to buy for a "teacher drive." Simple, anything that you think a teacher may need. Examples: pens, personal hand sanitizers, highlighters, little prizes, stickers for things, etc... Any donation made is a huge help!

Feel free to come out and enjoy some refreshments and visit with our lovely residents and staff. We always love to see new faces!
