This is a follow-up letter from the underprivileged classroom to which we donated new books in October 2009. The real ‘thanks’ goes to our customers, who make all our contributions possible.

Dear FreeTextbooks,

I cannot thank you enough for your generous gift to my classroom. My students and I are sending letters of appreciation to show how thankful we are. I hope you see how bright and fun my students are through the thank you notes.

When we received the materials that you donated to our classroom I immediately opened the box. My students said “Who are those books for?” I told them “you all.” After I opened up the box and started showing our new books to my students, the classroom was filled with oooo’s and aaahhh’s. They said things like, “Cool!”, “Oooh, I want to read that one!” and “Mrs. H will you read that right now?” The students were bright-eyed and were mesmerized with the new books they could use in our room. I also told them that someone was kind enough to give our classroom new books. They thought it was very thoughtful that someone we do not even know would spend their money to give our classroom new books to read. I told them that there are wonderful people in the world that care about their educational success!

My students love to sit and listen to me read them books. We have rug reading time everyday after lunch. They loved all of the books that you donated to our classroom. We hope you enjoy reading our thank you notes as much as we enjoyed writing and decorating them. Thanks again for your generosity and I hope this inspires you to make another dream come true for a truly thankful teacher!

With gratitude,
Mrs. H.
