Easy way to impact my students!

To get the funding we need to make our classroom flourish, my elementary music class is participating in an exciting program called Yahoo! Homepages for Homerooms. Yahoo! has partnered with DonorsChoose.org to donate up to $200,000 to help classrooms like mine across the country.

From now through October 16, 2011, Yahoo! is donating $25,000 each week across projects that receive the most homepages (up to $600 per project). Help make sure our class project is one of them!

You can help - it’s simple! Just go to my project (see the information below), and follow the prompts to make Yahoo! your homepage. You can vote once in this 8 week cycle per each email address you use. Yahoo! is the leader in online child safety, and they’re investing in education – what could be better?

Our project is called Our Music, Our Heritage, and through it we’re trying to get better drums for our classroom. Simply go to yahoo.homepagesforhomerooms.com, click “Find a Project” and type the project name where it says “Project ID.” Then click “Vote Now” and follow the prompts to quickly and easily support our project.

Yahoo! will also send out extra credit opportunities to earn even more votes for our project. Feel free to participate in these opportunities as well.

If you'd like to learn more? Visit yahoo.homepagesforhomerooms.com for details. Or, if you feel inspired to give monetarily, follow the link in my sidebar to my DonorsChoose page and make a donation to either of my projects (one is only $111 away from being fully funded!!).

Thanks so much for your help! Feel free to forward this information to anyone you think would help.
