Additional Contest is Giving Money to Schools, Too
Thanks to an email I received today from MomCentral, one of the mom's blogging networks I am active in, I've learned that Bing.com is giving away a chance to win up to $100,000 for your school. This is too good to not share it with all my readers: Bing will be giving away over $1 million through their new Our School Needs program.
With the current climate of Great Recession elevating the number of budget cuts in education at the national, state, and local levels, news about this contest is a God-send for any of us with school-age kids. That's my four kids above on the first day of school of third and fifth grades a few years ago.

To participate, K-12 students can work individually, in small groups, as a classroom, or even a whole school to prepare their entry including

So, I'm sure most of you students and teachers can think of something your school needs desperately. To enter, as well as for detailed contest rules and additional information on how to pitch your school's story and to see entry examples to inspire you, visit the official contest site Bing Our School Needs.
