New Jersey teacher receives supplies after shout out from Kristen Bell
VINELAND, N.J. (FOX 29) - A Vineland special education teacher was surprised with school supplies for her students after a shout out from Kristen Bell on Instagram.
"The next day there were packages at my door," teacher Jacquie Campbell said.
Packages upon packages and they just keep on coming. These Amazon shipments were not for Jacquie. The boxes were for her students at Thomas Wallace Middle School in Vineland, New Jersey. Jacquie works as a special education teacher there.
The gifts are from people around the world, thanks to Kristen Bell. Bell posted a link to the teacher's Amazon wishlist on her Instagram page as part of the actress' 'Featured Teacher Friday', which is a campaign to support teachers nationwide.
"I'm just overwhelmed. This is just amazing--overwhelming. It's crazy. It's unexpected," she said.
Jacquie's sister, Elyse, nominated her for the feature as not only a special education teacher but a mom and foster parent who continues to lead a selfless life.
Jacquie says underprivileged students at her school need this help
"They struggle and they come into school with little to nothing," she explained.
