HI Ellin Love You Realy Ellen Love You'r Show Wish You Answer Me I am Sara From Saudi Arabia Good Lock Sara From Riyadh
These children have been given so much more than money, books and toys...they have been given hope. Hope that tomorrow will be better than the day before because there is someone who cares. Sherrie Ghan is truly an amazing person! Thanks to you, Ellen, now the whole world can see just how special she is.
After Justin Bieber visited the school, I remember coming home from work to my 4th and 1st grader singing his songs and screaming because he personally handed them toys. They told me the stories he told about struggling when he was younger, and how he reminded them that their dreams can come true if they worked hard enough.
I remind my children every day that none of this would have happened if Ms. Gahn didn't care enough to reach out and tell her inspiring story!
Thank you so much for helping Whitney Elementary...a school in which I am very proud to say both my children attend!
During a time when most news about education is negative, thank you for sharing such an amazing and inspiring story with America! Because of your help and the dedication and love of a principal, the students at Whitney Elementary School can realize hope and joy in hard times. Being a fifth grade teacher in a poverty-stricken school, I see first-hand how poverty affects young people, and I know that students find hope and promise through helping hands! This story inspires me everyday I walk into my classroom, and it makes me view the world in a more positive way! Thanks for being such an inspiring and generous woman!
You are So amazing..........love your show. Thank you for all you do for people that need the help. YOU R SIMPLY FABULOUS!!!!!! Justin Bieber is such a good, generous kid also. So glad you collaberate with him!
What she is doing for those children is life altering! What an amazing woman!!!! What you have done to assist her efforts shows what an outstanding human being you are. I watched your show every day and tape it when I have phys. therapy. I saw the show when Justin Bieber promised to donate to the school and perform for them. I saw today's show, where he showed up and spent the day with the children and not only did he fulfill all his promises, he did so much more by bringing Christmas to each of those children! What an outstanding young man with such a sincere heart!! His actions were not acted out, they were truly sincere and came from the heart!! Thank you Ellen for inspiring the good in the world and showing once again how an act of kindness can change the world, even in the smallest way!! Those children shall never forget you or that day!!!
Wow, what a wonderful story and the generosity of you and Justin to help these children out for the holidays. The principal is a rare person that has a lot to offer these children and we don't hear enough of these positive stories.
I thought I had another day to submit a needy school but can't find the target link to submit it. Deadline was January 4, 2012. Please advise.
Dear Ellen,
You are an amazing women with all you do! I'm still wiping tears from your segment of the wonderful principal and those adorable kids in need. I'm currently unemployed, but I promise you as soon as I get a job and get my first check I'm making a donation to their school! Bookmarking their site. Thank you for bringing these things type of things to the public's attention.
Dear Ellen, I am watching Justin Bieber at the school right now, and my eyes are so full of happy tears that they are spilling over to my keyboard.
This was the most wonderful thing you were a part of since you gave that Senior High School dance severral years ago. Love you and all you do, Ruthie
Ellen, Only words I can say with eyes full of tear'sss is AWESOME, AWESOME and AWESOME and COOL...
I got to say once more God Bless You...
& Much Luv...

I looked at the school web page and did not see a listing for a librarian. They like to have pictures taken in the library, but think that a priority for funds should be to hire a full time professional librarian.
Wow Ellen...That was amazing what you did for Whitney Elementary School!!! I wish every principal of every school would be like Sherrie and care so much about their students to help them like that!! I don't think in all my 54 yrs of living that I have seen a more deserving person of all the "good fortune" you have given her and her school!! KUDO'S to YOU Ellen!! I wish my principal of the school I went to would have cared as much as she does!! Sherrie is an AMAZING person and so are you Ellen for doing that for her and the students!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love ya!!!! I wish I had the means to help people in need..it's such a rewarding feeling just knowing that you made a difference in someone's life!! Again...KUDO'S to you Ellen!!
I've never felt the need to donate as much I did once I listened to Sherry's story. Thank you Ellen for reminding us that we all can make a difference. Any donation helps. I'm still in tears...
I am a Junior in college studying to become an elementary school teacher and Sherri's story really touched my heart. I hope that I can be half the educator she is and make a difference in my future students' lives. Keep up the good work Sherri! Ellen you are a great person for helping Sherri and her school out. Those students have a bright future ahead of them!
