Why is this boy crying? Because we are only at 25% of what we need to fund three needy classrooms. We can definitely do this! Some of you have already helped us meet our end of the week goal and we thank you. I could go on about why you should donate and how important it is, but you already know the reasons. Seriously, take a moment and think of one reason why you shouldn't give a little. Go ahead...do it right now....

I bet your two reasons are 1) I don't have enough money and 2) It is too much work. You have at least a spare $10 to give so I am not buying number 1. As far as number 2 it will take less than 5 minutes. Alternatively, we could all not fund these challenges and for the next year you will have to listen to me rant. It is really up to you. In the long run, you will wish you donated a little. Remember the children.
You can also help spread the good word by emailing others and posting links on you own blogs.
