I started this blog to help encourage people to help out at their local schools.  Not just parents, but everyone. Students shouldn't have to raise money just to keep the after school art program. Teachers shouldnt have to stock their own classrooms with money from their own pockets.  But unfortunetly they do. Hopefully this blog will help everyone in the community to come up with ideas of how they can help.  Whether it is by simply taking five seconds to like a company on facebook that promises to donate for every fan it gets, by promising yourself you are going to buy atleast one item from the fundraiser, or getting more hands on and actively donating your skills or time to a program or classroom at school.  I was originally going to limit this blog to only within the area where I live. However, school funding problems aren't just limited to my area, and so I am opening it to everyone, everywhere.
