[quote=Anonymous]When school starts again, think about donating to your local school, or a school nearby that may need some help.  For example, many schools (I'm in Fairfax County), quietly provide jackets, booster seats, athletic shoes, school supplies, even food for the student to take home on weekends.  Ask the PTA president, the school social worker, a teacher or a parent liaison what's needed.

Think ahead and provide double - one for your child, one for someone who may have "forgotten" or wouldn't otherwise participate in a school event.  Is there a dress-up day (Colonial Day)?  Ask a teacher if you can help outfit a student.  Valentines Day?  Donate new packages of cards to a teacher to distribute.  Science projects?  Buy an extra project board.  Deal on shoes?  Buy an extra an give to the PE teacher to keep on hand (with socks).

I like doing these small, tangible acts of kindness.  You know you providing immediate help and it can be done without any red tape, fanfare and you can be anonymous.
