TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 2019 is a MATCH DAY!
Many times people bemoan and lament about teacher salaries, how educators don't get paid enough, that no teacher should have to pay for anything out of their own pocket, and than they do nothing.Well, here's a way for those who can, to do. Put your money(💲)where your mouth is!
I have had over 20 projects funded, and I am looking forward to funding many more. (Hint, hint). I have received mice, headphones, Ipads, a rug (Do you know how much classroom rugs cost?), wobbly chairs, and just recently, a mini studio creator so that my students could create podcasts. I believe in DonorsChoose so much, that I am a DonorsChoose ambassador, letting teachers know that this resource is available to them.
Teachers request many things, like basic supplies, clothing, sports goods, tech, professional development, anything and everything that will help them provide what is needed for their classroom. The items are funded for the teacher, but, they belong to the school, so teachers are not making requests for personal items. A special bonus are the personal Thank you's you will receive from the students!
DonorsChoose gets funding from the public and from corporations who collaborate and provide funding for thousands of teachers. There are groups on FB (e.g. Caring Classroooms), Twitter etc... whose sole purpose is to get teacher projects funded.
If you want to give, go the website. You can choose teachers you know, teachers in a particular state, school, there are many options for giving. Any time is a good time to give, but the BEST time to give is when projects are being matched. For example, you give $10, the project gets $20, because a company is matching all donations. In 2018, Ripple funded every single project on DonorsChoose. BestSchoolDay. Literally. That's what it was called.😊
Please, put your Tax-deductible💲💲💲where your 😮 is, and help out a teacher today! 😊
