Blogger Challenge 2007 sprog thank-you art: seascape.

Regular commenter ctenotrish made a generous donation to a project in my challenge called Starfish View of the Sea. The project was proposed by the teacher of a 6th grade bilingual science class in a Houston school with a high poverty level (88% of the students in the school qualify for free lunch). It's an ambitious project and it still needs $322 more to become a reality.

Of course, if just 13 people could pony up $25, it would more than cover the project.

And, each of those people could hit the sprogs up for some artwork, like these pictures they did for ctenotrish:

That jellyfish-looking thing in the second picture is actually a ctenophore. Thanks to ctenotrish's commission, the sprogs now know what a ctenophore is!

If you can spare a little money to help teachers create the classroom experiences they believe their students deserve, please consider donating to a project in my challenge.

Thanks!

Love the art! Great cause, and great, ahem, incentive. And having two more people on the planet who know what ctenophores are is a lovely bonus. :) Please thank the sprogs for me. They did a great job. Cheers, ctenotrish

Is it just me, or is the "oh" from the starfish just about the saddest thing ever?
