Notebooks on day one: our 40-kit goal
Hi [First name],
Here's what's happened in our classrooms since your last gift. [Name] started the year with no notebooks at home. A supply kit on day one meant homework done and turned in from the first week.
On Giving Tuesday, we're raising $1,000 for 40 supply kits at $25 each. Each one has notebooks, folders, pencils, markers and a calculator for a student whose family can't cover the supply list this year.
Would you come back with an early gift? Early gifts get the day moving before the inbox fills up.
