Donate to a project in support of Help An Old Lady Out On Her Birthday

Welcome to my Give-Back Birthday page. As some of you know, and some (ok, a smaller number) of you care, my birthday is in October. I've already received the greatest gift imaginable, ie, my first mailing from the AARP. Sigh...So in lieu of gifts and party favors this year, my birthday wish is to help students get supplies they desperately need. If you really want me to have a happy birthday, you'll check out the projects listed below and donate whatever you can : You were going to buy me at least two drinks, right ? This way, everybody wins : Students, teachers, me, and you (receiving thanks-you's and pictures from "your" classroom is one of the best feelings ever, trust me !) So, huge thanks to everyone who donates - you're doing a very good thing. Back to counting the rings around my knees now. Sarah XO

Every donor thanked. Donation is tax-deductible.
