It's mid-July, and you know what that means.
We'll be headed back to school {gasp} before we know it.
That's why today I'm excited to announce that
is celebrating by honoring our favorite teachers.
Why? From our friends at ThredUP:
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. Teachers are extremely generous with their time as well as their money.
How? From today until August 23rd, nominate a teacher who has positively impacted your world. Then go back every day to vote!
Who am I nominating? you ask.
Well, that's a tough one!
We have been blessed with great teachers too numerous to count,
both with our own children and in my Westwood family.
But for this #raiseahand campaign,
I've selected first-grade teacher Jennifer Quigley.
Mrs. Quigley truly has a heart of gold.
I know this because I have been blessed with an office right across the hall and, for fourteen years, I've watched in awe as she nurtures hearts while stretching minds and sparking curiosity and creativity.
I've stopped in to sing along as she and her firsties proudly proclaim what they firmly believe, that they've got the power to change the world.
And I've experienced the warm and welcoming climate in which her can-doers plant, blossom, bloom, grow and thrive.
Moment by moment,
year after year.
Like magic.
Only better.
Because it's real.
Because it's real.
Thank you, Jennifer, for using your superpowers
to change the world ... for good!
Now, it's your turn.
Go ahead; pick someone.
That favorite teacher.
The one who changed your world ... forever.
