I’ve written two donor’s choose proposals and both were funded. One was for that elusive LCD projector, another was so we could do a unit on model rockets. My students would have NEVER gotten those opportunities if it weren’t for a place like Donor’s Choose. It is THE best site for teachers, hands down. You should have seen my kids when I told them that 10 people chose to give up their money – money that could have been used for gas or a vacation or for clothes – and chose THEM instead. I got the biggest smiles I’ve ever seen. Please consider donating, your affects are so far reaching.

The reason Tomato Nation does so well is that Sars has no fear of abject humiliation. Two years ago, she shaved her head. Last year she spent a day dressed in a tomato costume and performed a dance inspired by Claire Danes’ character in My So-Called Life in Rockefeller Center (which is how Claire Danes got involved). This year she promises to protest at the White House dressed in the tomato costume.

Support today’s youth so that at least a few of them
grow up to be smarter than the vast swamp of morons
surrounding us now and then they can finally get rid
of them.

Jesus once said the poor will always be with us.

So will the morons, sadly enough.
