RANDALL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Walmart program honors teacher

Mrs. Donna Cahalan's class would like to thank Walmart for the awesome beginning to the school year at Randall Elementary School.

As part of a special Walmart “Commander in Teach(ers)” program, Mrs. Cahalan, third-grade teacher, was presented with a  gift card and iPad mini on September 9.


Mrs. Cahalan says she was truly honored with the surprise visit. With the generous gift she was able to purchase the following after the students voted on what they wanted for her classroom:
A new beanbag chair for reading time
20 new books
Recess games
Recess puzzles
Art sets
Comfy cushions for reading
Storage tubs for the student’s work

“I was humbled by the wonderful things that were conveyed by my principal, colleagues and former student,” she said. “However, Walmart’s ‘Commander in Teach(er)’ program is truly the winner here.  In a profession where you give so much of yourself, it is nice to know that community businesses support your efforts.  

“I think that this is a program that you should continue for as long as possible.  I am surrounded in my school by talented and gifted individuals who are equally worthy of this great honor.”
