Out of pocket spending for my classroom

Submitted by Ashley (not verified) on May 28, 2008 - 19:51.

I spend so much money out of my pocket for the students on a regular basis. Not only for school supplies but for special occasions for the students which may include holidays as well as parties or special events. Since I work in a high needs school I tend to buy the students small items for their birthdays and other events because that may be the only gift they get. To see a smile on their face brings a smile to mine. Though spending the money does hurt my pocket it helps my heart.
