Adopt a Classroom Information from Rosemary Cleaves

Nell Quijano and I have talked about ways we could directly help local
classrooms and I had toyed with the idea of having a place folks could go to
donate to a specific classroom.  Well, wouldn't you know that some wonderful
person has already dreamed up this idea and all of the contributions donated go
directly to the classroom you adopt.  The teacher can shop at specific websites
that the program has made deals with.  The executive director is the founder of
the 501(c)(3) organization and contributions to classrooms do not go to pay his
salary.  I expect he does separate grant writing for that.  The Charitynavigator
rating service likes them.  I thought you'd like to know so you
can spread the word among your teacher community.  It's such a great idea.

Thanks, Rosemary, for discovering this opportunity!
