Sandi - Here is a copy of the letter I have been sending - just inserting the address and actual donation. In addition, I purchased a bunch of Thank You notes and gave some to each class and asked the teachers to have the kids either all sign their first names or have each kid write one generic thank you note. I suggested they do this on raining days when they can't do out for recess or as an example of writing notes and such. I include a handwritten note by a kid with each of my letters. They are so cute and I have gotten some nice feedback about the personal touch.
Good Luck
