Woot!

Recently, Shaker NameChanged emailed a request, which I posted, to help raise money for her yearbook students, who had nothing but broken and outdated cameras. NameChanged now emails that they've been fully funded:

My students and I are so grateful for your generosity. As we all know, Yearbook is all about the pictures, and many of our spreads have been subpar because we have had to settle for what was available. We have been struggling since August with camera issues, and just last week another camera quit working. This funding came at just the right time to boost our spirits.

Yearbook is the type of class that attracts passionate students, and my students are no exception. They have put in time before and after school, as well as weekends to make sure that they are putting out the best product possible up for publication. Now that you have helped fund our new cameras the students will surely be even more excited about working on the yearbook.

As donors, you have also taught my students a valuable lesson about giving. They were anxiously awaiting the "We're funded" email, and they now know that small actions can make a big difference. I am encouraging my students to raise funds for another Donors Choose project so that they may give back and help another class achieve their goals.

ô,ôP!
