Tis the Season to be Thanking and Giving

Posted Nov. 25, 2009

It's that time of year again- You can feel it in the air. The decorations are going up in all the stores, radio stations will start to play non-stop holiday tunes, and people are thinking of different ways to help each other out.

Donorschoose.org has partnered up with Myteachermyhero.com and we are giving away $25 "giving-cards" to each person who posts a video. We would love to help as many classrooms as we possibly can.

You can all help! Whether you are a teacher who needs digital cameras for their whole class, a parent of a child whose class needs new books, or even a person who wants to thank the teacher who has changed their life, together we can all make a difference this holiday season.

Teachers who have an idea of a class project to fund can create your project at Donorschoose.org

We want to help your classroom! Email Crystal ( cgrandison@2tor.com ) the link to your project. She will send you an email that you can personalize and send to all your friends, family, colleagues, and students with instructions on how to earn $25 giving cards for your Donorschoose.org project.

Now it's time to Thank. Anyone can upload a video thanking a teacher who has impacted his/her life on Myteachermyhero.com It can be your 2nd grade teacher who made teaching fun, your High School Social Studies teacher opened your eyes to new ways to learn, or even your college professor who made you realize your true potential. We want to hear about your story!

No worries, we didn't forget about the giving part. To receive the $25 "giving-card", you have to post a video on Myteachermyhero.com, you will automatically receive an email rewarding you with the $25 "giving card" in the form of a code. We will give you the link for the class project you are donating to and all you have to do is enter to the code. The money will then be added on to that classrooms' goal.

Let's end 2009 remembering those amazing teachers that have changed our lives and enriching education by helping our teachers.
