From teaching us how to read to writing recommendation letters for college applications, schoolteachers play an important role in a number of milestone events we experience while growing up. Let’s face it teachers spend just about as many hours with our children as we as parents do. As the end of the school year approaches, we find ourselves thinking about how to thank teachers for all they do. A lot of teachers feel being appreciated meant more than any tangible gift they could have received.
I am really excited my oldest daughter (Melissa) is going to be attending an Early College Program. It’s a fairly new program and is in need of items. Moms Central is going to give me $100 DonorsChoose Giving Code I will be applying it to this class project. Melissa and I both feel Mrs. Haines and Mr. Chandler are very deserving of this, both of them have went over and beyond to help Melissa succeed with her future plans.
Bing is encouraging students and parents to recognize teachers who have made a difference in their lives through a new philanthropic campaign focused on supporting kids’ education. Bing has committed to a gift of up to $500,000 and teamed up with Donors Choose to provide both kids and adults with a way to express their thanks to a teacher and help another teacher or school in the process.
Here’s how it works: a teacher can log onto the website Donors Choose to start a “classroom project” or donation request. Parents and students can then visit Bing Teacher Appreciation site to post a comment or share a story about a teacher who made a difference in your life (or the life of your child), and Bing will provide you with a $5 donation to Donors Choose, which can be applied toward any classroom project of your choice. Each visitor can leave up to 5 comments, resulting in a total donation of $25.00.
At the end of June, Bing will aggregate the comments and share them with each teacher in the form of a congratulations letter.
