Why I Love Schoola

Recently I teamed up with Schoola, and I must say I am excited to get more involved. 

I received this simple J Crew striped tee from their online consignment shop and I love it.. I paired it with a simple skirt to give it a dresser look.  You have to check out their online consignment shop. Such great buys!!  

Plus 40% of every sale funds school programs for kids_ programs like art, music, math and more. So for every $5 your spend, they send $2 to schools. A school of your choice! What a great way to give back.. 

How You can get involved

With spring cleaning underway Schoola is a great way to give back to schools all over the US,  by donating gently used kids and women’s clothing by mail from home with free shipping, or participate in a school-wide clothing drive - either allows everyone to clean out their closet for a great cause.

If you’re considering other fundraising ideas, look no further! Start today by requesting a postage-paid donation bag, or book a school-wide clothing drive online today. Any school in the United States can participate.

Schoola Blogger Event

A couple of  days ago I had the opportunity to craft with Schoola at their blogger event at the new DIY Craft Studio here in Austin. What a fun evening! Schoola's March campaign kicked off last week and they are truly making a difference in schools all over the world through donations and shopping their consignment shop. Which is amazing!!!

We go to create some fun cards for the evening, using supplies from the Craft studio.. 

How fun is that!!! 

More about Schoola:

Over 300,000 families nationwide have discovered Schoola’s unique solution that has been praised as an “amazing mash-up of community building, upcycling and commerce.”

• Parents love it because they can donate gently used kids and women’s clothing by mail from home with free shipping, or participate in a school-wide clothing drive - either allows them to clean out their closet for the benefit of their school.
• Kids love it because they can track their school’s fundraising progress on their school page, and it funds programs at schools that have seen severe budget cuts, such as art, music, field trips and P.E.
