Can you remember your favorite teacher?  I have a few special ones I recall that made learning such an enjoyable experience.  The icing on the cake for me was getting my own teaching license and being able to work along side with a couple of my favorites from my elementary school days.  Talk about an amazing privilege!  It made me appreciate all they did for me that much more.

Unfortunately, along with teaching often comes the fact that teachers have to spend a good amount of money from their own pockets for needed supplies in the classroom.  I’ve joined the Max Moms For Teachers program to raise awareness and encourage support for teachers in every community.  The Max Moms are working in collaboration with the national “A Day Made Better” cause founded by OfficeMax and nonprofit Adopt-A-Classroom to help erase teacher-funded classrooms.

To support this cause, I had the great privilege of surprising a deserving teacher in my community who demonstrates hard work and dedication to her students with $110 worth of classroom supplies from OfficeMax.  I was so excited as the day neared!  I couldn’t wait to help make her day a little brighter.  Look at some of the great stuff in this box!

The teacher I honored was Mrs. Denise Parham.

Mrs. Parham is a third grade math and science teacher who is passionate about her work and gives her all each day in the classroom.  Just this week, her class suffered the terrible loss of one of her students.  It’s been emotionally tough on them all, but she has really put forth a tremendous effort to be there for her students and help them all cope with this devastating loss.  Presenting her with this box of classroom supplies did brighten her day and her class was so excited for her.

You, too, can also join in supporting this cause by purchasing your own A Day Made Better box of classroom supplies available for $25, $50, and $100 at www.adoptaclassroom.org/better and surprise a deserving teacher in your community.

A special thank you to OfficeMax for allowing me to bring some much-needed school supplies and sunshine to a deserving teacher and class.
