Hey gang,

Every August, I visit DonorsChoose to find some schoolteachers to help out. Lots of educators post there about projects they want to do or things they need for their classrooms as kids come back to school. I pick a few and fund them up in gratitude for how much of a difference my amazing school teachers made in my life.

It's nice! You can take care a classroom's need for pens and band-aids for ten bucks, fill an empty library shelf for a few hundred, or let an innovative educator do something new and impressive for a thousand or two bucks. Nobody stops you! You can give until you are sufficiently full of joy.

I encourage you to head on over there, pick some classrooms, solve some problems.

I promise you you'll feel good about it!
