Sometimes, I'm Proud to Be a Mom Who Blogs

We get mail...

From the coordinator of one of the blogging communities I belong to, the Yahoo! Motherboard:

Hi Donna,

I wanted to circle back and let you know the results of the Yahoo! Homepages for Homerooms program.  With help and support from folks like you, Yahoo! has donated $200,000 to DonorsChoose.org to support the funding needs of public school classrooms all throughout the country.  Throughout the time that this program ran we helped 52,452 students and their families, funded 399 projects and supported 146 classrooms.

As you know, we asked our Mother Board members to help this effort and your post on socalmom.com drove the most clicks!  Because of this we'd like to provide you with a $500 DonorsChoose.org gift card that you can use to support the project (or projects!) of your choice...

Thanks again for all of your support!

Yahoo!'s Homepages for Homerooms may be over, but there are still thousands of classrooms throughout the United States that need help -- and many of them have listed their needs at DonorsChoose.org. Give what you can -- aggregated small donations can make a help teachers create innovative lesson plans for our kids.

Now, if you'll excuse me... I'm off to see what some of the schools in my community need.
