Discover Bing: Our School Needs Contest voting begins

A quarter-million dollars is at stake! Your vote will determine the four schools that will share the money. The school with the most votes will win $100k while the other 3 schools each get $50k. In addition to the $250K, Bing will be giving away another $900k to schools in need through DonorsChoose.org.

Does your child’s classroom want to do a project but find they are short on money? DonorsChoose.org is a non-profit website where public school teachers can post classroom projects that need funding. If you are one of the first 30,000 voters each day, you will receive a $3 donation code to redeem on DonorsChoose.org. You have from now until Sunday, November 7 to vote in the Our School Needs contest www.bing.com/ourschoolneeds The winners will be announced Tuesday, November 9. What a great way to get that project paid for!

What are some of your favorite entries in the contest? What school are you voting for? Personally I wish all the schools could win! But these ones really touch my heart.

  • Roosevelt High School: Johnstown, CO: Computer Access
  • Bear River Charter School: Logan, UT: Library
  • Georgetown-Ridge Farm S D: Georgetown, IL: Textbooks

A school without computer access? Isn’t it the 21st century! What about books? A school is not a school without proper educational materials! Now it’s your turn! Go get your vote on! Make it count then use your donation code at DonorsChoose.org!

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Bing and received a gift card and DonorsChoose.org giving code to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

    If you need a project to put your donorschoose.org codes too, check out my projects at http://www.donorschoose.org/mrshagaman The students at my school face a lot of hardships, we are a 99% poverty level, and I want to do everything I can to make sure my students get the best education they can get!
