I got Applebees on BOARD! yeah!
here is my letter I sent to the Store Manager...
"Hi! My name is Chloe Strang. I am a sixth grade student at Skaneateles Middle School. I am starting an affort called Krayons 4 Kids. I am hoping that you can help me by saving the any old crayons that you give out to children at you restaurant. If you are not already giving your crayons to another foundation then I would be so happy if you could help me by donating your crayons! Last February I went to South America. Lima, Peru to be exact, and I bought crayons and paper to bring to the kids. They were so thankful! I loved the feeling that I got when I gave the crayons to the kids! So that is why I want to start this foundation. I am going to Nicaragua this February and there are children that need coloring supplies there to! I am going to bring a suitcase full of crayons and paper so I can hand out the crayons that I hope you can donate! I will give you a bucket that you can fill with crayons with my logo and story! "
Thank you so much!

here is the logo for the buckets...
Congratulations Chloe! I, too, will be going to Nicaragua, and I have had my Spanish class students do some fund raising and donating. Just a suggestion for some easy cash, if your school allows it, I had my students hold a water jug next to the cash registers in the cafeteria. One day we were lucky enough to collect $83! I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor!
