Central Illinois Tornado Relief Fundraiser
On Sunday, November 17th terrible tornadoes swept through Central Illinois leaving many homeless and with nothing left except the clothes on their backs.  As an Illinois teacher, I felt the overwhelming need to do something for these people to help them rebuild their lives and to carry on during the upcoming holidays.  Two other Illinois teachers also felt compelled to do something.  So, the three of us (Amanda Pauly from Mrs. Pauley's Kindergarten,  Cindy (Kinder Kay) from Love Those Kinders and I from Mrs. McLaren's Little Super Heroes) joined together to create a fundraiser to earn funds for the victims. We were overwhelmed and thrilled with generosity from many amazing bloggers.

Over at our special TPT store you will be able to donate to this cause by purchasing one of our bundles.  These bundles will be available from December 1st - December 31st.  All the proceeds will go to the Red Cross specifically designated to the victims of the tornadoes.

With the holiday season upon us, I urge you to give to this fundraiser and while you are at it you will receive many fabulous products.

I would also like to share a video by Green Shoe Studios entitled "Our Anthem (American Made)" with you. This is an awesome video about the strength of a small community pulling together after a tornado devastated their town on Nov. 17th.  Again, I hope you will stop by and check out the bundles some wonderful friends donated to support this cause!!
