[Name]'s new readers, and a goal for 20 classroom grants

Hi [First name],

Since you last gave to our PTA, [Name], a 3rd grade teacher at our school, used a classroom grant to replace a worn-out set of readers. Now every student in the class has books at their reading level.

Next Tuesday is Giving Tuesday, and we're hoping to raise $1,000 for 20 classroom grants of $50 each. That's enough for 20 teachers to buy what their students need this winter, straight from their teacher wish list.

If you'd like to be part of it, an early gift helps us start the day with momentum: [Donation link]

Thank you for backing our teachers.
