We are so proud of our fearless leader @AlaneAdamsBooks She has single-handedly added to cart more times than we can count on our collective fingers and toes times ten. All to spread a smile. To make a weary teachers day. To reach a child. #ourhero #clearthelists #alanes500club

Alane Adams@AlaneAdamsBooks

Ten teachers away from 500-Helping teachers has been our jam for years but #clearthelists has allowed us @RiseUpFdn to make classroom impacts at a very personal level. Plus I got to share #badpuns and became the #gifqueen 👑 #bonus so 🥁 #491 is @tmlusby welcome to #alanes500club
