Donorschoose.org thanks! or, riding the pink unicorn

DonorsChoose.org does a great job getting classroom projects funded throughout the US.

Check out The "Write" Stuff from Mrs C who teaches at a school in South Carolina:

We do not have enough pencils, crayons and writing paper to last the entire school year... The materials I am requesting include enough for me to begin the next school year as well. I am not very hopeful that the budget situation will be improved by then.

I am asking for basic classroom supplies. Writing each day is important. Good writers become good readers. We also write in our journals each day. Students draw a picture and then write about it. It is amazing to watch their progress throughout the year.

Your support of this project will help 23 kindergarten students this year improve their writing skills.

Just to be clear, that's me riding the unicorn, apparently wearing extra hair.

Craig,
Thank you again for all you have done for my classroom and for East Elementary! DonorsChoose is a wonderful help for teachers! My classroom is better than ever.
I have received basic supplies(crayons, pencils, paper),hands-on science materials and math maipulatives.
All of our school funds have been frozen since school started in August. Without DonorsChoose and supporters like you, I shudder to think how I would provide my students the educational opportunities they deserve.
Sincerely,
Mrs. C
