DonorsChoose.org: Teachers ask. You choose. Students learn.
An online charity connecting you to classrooms in need.

Donate to a project in support of Chez Schmanz supports DonorsChoose.org!

DonorsChoose has really helped me provide my students with materials and experiences to help them learn! Now I want to give back! Let's band together to fund classroom projects at DonorsChoose.org! Even $5 is a show of generosity to classrooms who need support. And with a $1 minimum donation, there's no reason everyone can't help just a little bit. The projects on my challenge page focus on my interests - English language learners, healthy living, empowering students, schools where I have taught - but I invite you to nominate any project on DonorsChoose for my giving page, and I'll add it! Let's see what we can do together!

Every donor thanked. Donation is tax-deductible.
