help for the 4th grade!

I've received three emails from my great-nephew and one from his teacher.

White Bluff Elementary School needs help with classroom supplies.

Would I please help out?

Of course!

I decided to be extra generous, as Bert recently had his 9th birthday... which I missed.

My initial pledge to this charitable request was for two $30 gift cards for his class.

That's partly because they gave me a discount, charging just $50 for the two.

That gained him 2 points toward a gift that required 4 points.

That's fine, someone else could help out, right?

But, during the checkout process, the company offered another deal: one $20 gift card for the teacher, 2 points for Bert...

Sold!!!

Now his birthday gift is done, with no shopping required of me.

What a win, all the way around!!!

His prize?
His choice of one of four paracord bracelets.
I wonder if he will be wearing that the next time I see him?
I hope so!

The fundraising group his school used is the same one I dealt with in March for Chloe's school in Hinesville.
Nice!
