Donors Choose Project

1/23/2016

0 Comments

 
Hi All,

​I'm trying to raise money for video equipment for my 8th graders so they can make Student Documentaries. Currently my project is on DonorsChoose.org. For the next 4 days, DonorsChoose will match ANY donation made to my class. If you have the time and the funds, we would really appreciate a donation. Even $1 will help (because really it will be $2 when DonorsChoose matches it). Please do not feel obligated to donate.

IMPORTANT: If you decide to donate within the next seven days, enter the code [EMPOWER]. DonorsChoose will only match dollar for dollar if the code [EMPOWER] is entered.

Link to my project: http://www.donorschoose.org/project/creating-student-films-in-the-history-cl/1856868/?rf=link-siteshare-2016-01-teacher-teacher_357591&challengeid=113683​  

​Thanks so much for even considering a donation.
