I wish more schools did this. I've seen the look on little faces when they were the one with no gift for the teacher, or gift exchanges for other kids. Also when trips were taken and some one could not afford to go and had to stay behind. I hate those situations!!!!! I'm just a grandma now, but I was very involved in school volunteer work years ago, and even now I see that at my grandchildren's school
