Last week we raised ~$100K for low-income public schools. Let's put stress tweeting to good use again. I'm highlighting states where teachers & parents protested school cuts this fall. First up. WVA donorschoose.org/project/classr…
an we just talk about this teacher's workload? And here she's just asking for things like pens and glue sticks donorschoose.org/project/classr…
Thanks to a 2x match, we can close this out for $72 donorschoose.org/project/classr…
AWESOME WAY TO START THIS DRIVE
Mental health for WVa high schoolers. 3X match means we need about $380 donorschoose.org/project/me-mys…
every little bit helps! donorschoose.org/project/me-mys…
Just $323 to go...
Teacher salaries in W Va are 48th in the nation. When they walked out this fall, they highlighted not just that but how they were struggling to buy basic supplies that the districts didn't motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
Cost of living goes up; pressured by "no tax" types, districts cut amount spent on schools; teachers get no raises, still buy classroom supplies nytimes.com/2018/03/06/us/…
$293 to go...
Come on you guys, let's unstuck this one. This school is at basically the ground zero of the opioid crisis. That may not be the only trauma these kids face, but it is certainly one. donorschoose.org/project/me-mys…
Just $163 to go...
$113...
$8!!!!

Here's an Arizona teacher whose Native American kids come up to 1.5 hrs from four different reservations to learn. Lets get her some STEM science kits: donorschoose.org/project/learni…
WOW THAT WAS QUICK! GREAT JOB EVERYBODY
Here's another Arizona teacher with a largely Native American group of kids, trying to buy them reading-level books and also classics like To Kill A Mockingbird and Fahrenheit 451. Need $397 donorschoose.org/project/explor…
$152 to go...
WOOOOT GOOD JOB YOU GUYS
Over to Oklahoma, and another low income Native American school. Big match means we only need $59 donorschoose.org/project/lets-g…
NICE JOB FOLKS
Here's an African American teacher helping kids in her school fill out college applications and resume and just going the extra mile. She needs supplies: donorschoose.org/project/breaki…
Here's a piece on why black teachers matter and how a lot of the school funding cuts have targeted them in particular grrrrrrrr motherjones.com/politics/2016/…
Only need $852 to get these kids the Chromebooks they need to research schools and jobs and write resumes and college admission essays. Many don't have computer access at home donorschoose.org/project/breaki…
$802 to go. Seems overwhelming but we funded all these others almost entirely by people chipping in $5-50 until we got them done.
$642 to go. As a reminder, a lot of schools in Oklahoma have gone to a 4-day week because they don't have enough money for the 5th day. This is anti-tax race t the bottom philosophy in action: donorschoose.org/project/breaki…
$627 to go...
Here’s a note from one of the last donors
THIS GOT COMPLETED LAST NIGHT
