Schoola: Shop gently-used children's clothing online and support schools!

You may remember me posting about Schoola previously, but I'm excited to once again highlight this great company! Schoola is an online shop dedicated to recycling brand-name children's clothes, with 40% of the proceeds going to schools in need. It's a total win-win, and I'm a big fan of buying second-hand clothing (saving money, preventing waste and all that good stuff).

 Plus, this month brings the "20 Days of Schoola" Adopt-a-School campaign, which focuses on "adopting" one of three schools who would greatly benefit from additional funds to bring or bolster creative programs. I've chosen to sponsor Yick Wo Elementary, with the goal of raising $25,000 to fund an art program!

  Art can be one of the most important parts of a young student’s life. It teaches kids that it’s okay to be creative and take risks at school-not just in the art room, but in math, languages, and every other subject they study. The educational benefits of an art program are well known, but it’s still not covered by most public school budgets. The parents at Yick Wo Elementary make sure that their school’s students have art class anyway, and Schoola is forming a community to help them do it. (You can see more about Yick Wo Elementary here.)

  As a mom of three young boys, I can personally attest to the joy art brings to their lives. My 5-year-old can spend hours drawing and creating mini-masterpieces, and he's had a lot of fun learning about famous artists. I'm often amazed at what my children can create!

  You can help Yick Wo Elementary reach their fundraising goal in two ways:

• Shop on Schoola! For every transaction that is tracked via the unique links in this post, Schoola will donate $1 to the school.
  
• Request a Schoola donation bag! For every one of my awesome readers who requests a Schoola donation bag through this unique link, Schoola will donate $1 to the school. Even better, when you donate clothing and fill out your school information, $2 of every $5 made will go back to the school you chose to support. Isn't that awesome?!

  I'm excited we have the opportunity to support these children, and I can't wait to see how much we can all raise. For all of you who are able to shop and donate through Schoola during this campaign, thank you!
