As a certified teacher myself I know how tight the school budgets can be and how it makes teaching very difficult. For example, Many of the schools around me have a limit on copies a teacher can make per month. So many teachers are paying for copies for their classrooms out of their own checks.

Also books are very expensive and many times schools are unable to provide enough of them. So many schools have children sharing books or books that are ripped, missing pages and falling apart. Imagine how helpful this money will be and how many kids will benefit.

I was really touched by two of the finalist schools. These 2 are my favorites

Mackay Elementary School who has been without heat due to a boiler breaking and the boiler cost 60k to fix. Kids have to try and focus and learn with coats on in freezing temperatures.


The Tucson Accelerated high school located in a half empty strip mall and the kids eat lunch on the hallway floors. How sad :(


Take a minute to read these stories and please vote to help a school and better the children attending it.



I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Bing and received a gift card and DonorsChoose.org giving code to thank me for taking the time to participate.
