In the past couple of years, many schools’ traditional sources of funding (parent organizations, booster clubs, etc.) have been called upon to support basic needs — copier machines, supplies, and sometimes even staffing.

Creating Programs That Kids, Teachers & Librarians Love
Wonderful, Alexis. Thank you!! BTW, is Tina Coury, the filmmaker, originally from the Boston area?
Tina is from LA, her husband is from the Boston area.
Terrific! And so timely. I love these “tips of the day”! Great info in just the right amount of time.
This is great information. I would have never of thought of Target or Walmart supporting the schools in this manner.
Kristin — Target and Walmart are big supporters of literacy and the arts. And don’t forget to check out the service clubs in your commity, too.
