Filming In Brooklyn

Hi all, a blog group that I write for, the New York City Moms Blog, is participating in a little challenge this month, against some other blogs, to see whose readers can raise the most money on DonorsChoose.org, a great site started by a former NYC public school teacher.  Since I have such fantastic readers I wanted to reach out to you for help.

Just go here and browse the participating donor requests on that page.  Find one you like, and help fund it!  You’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that instead of your contribution going into some big pool of money somewhere, you will be directly funding a NYC public school project! You don’t have to give a lot to make a difference.  Five dollars would be welcome.  There’s a request on there right now asking for money to buy pencils.  Pencils!  How can you learn when you don’t have pencils?

The winning blogs don’t get anything for winning, except bragging rights.  So everybody wins, especially the kids.  Both of my kids go to public school, and I see all the time how much the teachers do for those kids, buying supplies for kids who can’t afford them, funding projects out of their own pockets, and doing more with less every single day.  They deserve some help.
