In March 2005, Center for Companies That Care launched two education initiatives to benefit less-advantaged schools:

• Based on the recommendations of librarians and education experts, Center for Companies That Care compiled the Terrific Tales book list, an educationally diverse selection of books for kindergarten through 6th grade. Participating companies collected and distributed classroom libraries of books to local less-advantaged schools.
  
• With the Teachers Know Best initiative, participating companies made donations to fund teachers' proposals (see www.donorschoose.org) to help fill a range of classroom needs. For example, common classrooms gaps include art supplies, costumes and props, calculators and other technology, measurement tools to help children learn about the metric system, books and books-on-tape...many communities have significant needs.

While Companies That Care completed both of these initiatives in 2005, organizations may still participate and donate to Terrific Tales and/or Teachers Know Best on their own. Please contact marcikoblenz@companies-that-care.org for details.
