So Strand became a reluctant Wal-Mart shopper -- venturing in from time to time to pick up supplies and emergency items for disadvantaged students, such as coats and shoes. She'd get reimbursed through the Washington Education Association's Children's Fund, a decade-old charity that provides up to $100 per student each year.

Note that Staples is one of the sponsors of the fund. I wonder how their employee wages & benny's stack up w/ WalMart's.
Isn't the fund people really other people's money? You'd think that the fund would want to get as much bang for their buck as they could. Like I said, this wench is awful free with other people's money.
