Asher’s Basket

Last October, I posted about a very special little boy named Asher.  He is a four year old who is living with Cystic Fibrosis.  I went to high school with his parents, and although I have never been able to meet him and give him a great big hug, he has certainly made an impact on my life.  You can read that post {here}.

I put a call out to fellow teachers and bloggers for donations for their upcoming auction to raise money for cystic fibrosis in Arizona.  Here is the result:

This AMAZING gift basket is full of resources any teacher would love!  In total, there are close to 300 (yes, 300!) units on the CD’s, a totally cool phonics flip chart, notepads, post-it notes, flair pens, welcome cards, and handmade beaded lanyards for your ID!

I want to send a special shout-out to the generous people that donated items for this basket:

I know this wonderful basket will bring a huge donation for Cystic Fibrosis research.  If you have an extra minute too, stop by Team Asher’s Facebook page and click that “like” button.  Take a second and look through the adorable pictures of Asher!
