Top Giving: October Birthdays

"I gave to this project because you all deserve it! Keep up the good work. Be well everybody."

"I gave to this project because I strongly believe in education and to help my community."

"This one's for Jane's birthday!"

"After friends and family, education is the dearest thing to me in my life, and it will always be that way, even after I'm done with my own edication. Education makes your life better and makes you a better person, so I like to help good teachers do their jobs better in any way I can, and I will give more again in the future."

"I still can't wait for these kids to read The Great Gatsby!"

"I gave to this project because I believe that all children should have the opportunity to be physically active in their communities. "

"I gave to this project because it is important to have inspiration and creativity in your life! I used to teach art and social studies but the school simply never could find the money to fund our art supplies until the year all of my kids passed their standardized testing in social studies because art had played such a strong role in our classroom that year. We made commemorative plaques of the historical events (no dates) as we learned -- just using plain paper and colored markers, pencils, and crayons. We used them as study aids throughout the year, especially to create timelines and taking turns telling the story. When exam time rolled around, we were ready and we knew our stuff! "
