Join Gordmans & No Place For Hate $25 Gift Card Giveaway

I received this sample in the hopes I would share my honest opinion. 

For many of us it is time to go back to school and for many kids this is an exciting time.  For those who have dealt with bullying in school it is a stressful time, no matter the grade they are entering.   

Gordmans wants to do their part to put an end to the hate in our school and has teamed up with Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to promote the ADL’s No Place for Hate^® initiative  to help eradicate hatred, prejudice and bullying as students and teachers prepare to head back to school this fall. 

Through the month of August, Gordmans will join ADL in a call to action encouraging individuals, parents, teachers and students to take a stand against bullying and prejudice in schools and communities. Guests at Gordmans stores are invited to purchase “Helping Hands” for $1 each or more in support of the initiative. Every dollar raised will directly benefit ADL’s No Place for Hate^® anti-bullying initiatives.

 I know this is not my first time saying this but back to school has always been my favorite time of the year.  I feel like it is a chance for a fresh start, but I will also admit that when I was in the younger I did not feel this way.  In fact when I was in the third and fourth grade I cringed at the idea of returning to school because I knew what was in store for me and it was another girl my age who would always "pick" on me and to this day I remember just how awful she was to me.  It was so bad that my parents had to change my school in the middle of the fourth grade.  The funny part is now as adults living in a small town I see this girl from time to time and now over 25 years later I feel sorry for her because I know that I am not the only person who she treated this way and I also know that the other people feel the same way today for her that they did back then.    Meaning that being mean as a kid carries with you and while you may think that with time people forget they don't.  

This is why I support Gordmans for stepping up and reminding all of us that school is No Place For Hate!

Sunday we stopped by the Springfield Gordmans and found some of the cutest book bags for the younger kids.  While we are not shopping for dorm rooms I saw so many things that makes me want to decorate someones dorm, from beds in a bag, rugs, wall art, towels and storage you can find it all in one location and within your budget.

To help you get ready for back to school Gordmans would like to give one reader a $25 Gordmans Gift Card?
