Scholastic Rewards

Here at Stance, we receive fan mail that makes us smile, but one in particular stood out to us.

We recently donated socks to a teacher who wrote in asking for a few pair for his monthly auction. If students receive good grades and have good behavior, they get rewarded by being able to choose a prize. Last month we received a letter back from this teacher:

"I have a student in my class who doesn't want to give his best effort. He has a difficult time getting his homework done and often doesn't demonstrate appropriate behavior in class. We have had an auction every month since the 2nd month of school. Ever since I put the first few pairs of socks in my auction (the month of December) I started to notice a small change in this student's attitude. Well, at today's auction he purchased his first auction prize of the year, and as you can probably guess it was a pair of Stance socks (Lizard King glow in the dark). After the class was dismissed, my student approached me with tears in his eyes gave me a hug and said "thanks for the socks". It was one of the moments teachers live for. I thought you should know the impact your socks are having on my kids."

Apparently this same teacher was recently approached by a parent asking if their child could transfer into his class for the rest of the year, so they could have a chance at winning some auction prizes.

It's letters like this that make the crew here at Stance be thankful for where we work.
