"As a former IB student, I recognize the importance of IB not only in my academic development, but my professional endeavors. The IB program facilitated my learning at the college level and rendered my undergraduate years quite easy. Keep trucking through that prodigious work load. I promise you, it is worth it in the long run. It is my profound honor and pleasure to be able to assist future IB students with their budding quest for knowledge. Have fun reading Crime and Punishment! "

"I donated to this project because my daughter graduated from the IB program with an IB Diploma. I believe the IB Program is so important to higher education and enables students to think outside the box. I believe this rigorous program should be at each and every school across the country. Families and students who graduate from the IB Program are perfect examples of excellence and deserve every chance possible to make their individual mark on the world. If I can help IB students to achieve this, then I am proactively assisting in the success of our future leaders. "

"I gave to this project because I believe that children need a wonderful education and am truly thankful for teachers who care. Good luck, Mya! "

"the need for science and math education for our children to remain competitive in the world is great....and childhood is where an interest in these subjects can have a life long impact.........and I want to support the dedicated teachers that struggle to provide opportunities with limited resources for OUR kids"

"I gave to this project because I, too, teach struggling readers who don't have access to books. I believe that reading is the key to success."

"I learned about DonorsChoose when our daughter asked my husband and me to donate in honor of her birthday, in August. This month, on my 70th birthday, a former colleague, a Children's Hospital Oakland nurse, honored me with a $70 DonorsChoose giftcard. I specifically wanted to donate to a science program in a Richmond school. Your project fits the bill!"

"I gave to this project because I am so proud of my nephew and the passion he has for teaching. Way to go Patrick!"
