Free $15 gift card for your school of choice?!

You get to choose the school which receives it. A simple low dollar purchase of even a coffee will qualify. Bring the kids. Bring friends. Everyone buy their own so the schools get more gift cards. DECEMBER 4 & 5 2010 only! IN store only! I'll be sharing in my next post a GREAT gift tutorial that would go FAB with a book or gift certificate for a book store. This post goes hand in hand with the next.
Our school systems do not receive much help help from the state. I have schools fees to pay despite it being a public school. And yes, the gubberment approved it. No pay? Then no diploma and no report cards sent home until it is paid. They cant kick you out but they can make it where there are no report cards, diploma or field trips or any other way that is not depriving you of education but the "extras" will be with held. Not to mention, the Treasurer can take you to small claims court. All fees are for those little things the government does not cover but are required in their education. This is ALL found in the (Ohio) State board of education handbook. Really, ...I have no reason to make this stuff up. I have been fired up about it for 7 years...

Anyway, here is the article. Even if you are anti social, anti public school, have no kids in public school(not combining the 2 but gotta cover the bases) or refuse to buy Borders for what ever reason that may be, pLeAsE consider getting out there and support the education of those whom are our future. Read on my friends and remember to come back in the next few days for that Book friendly tutorial I will sharing.They are so freaking cute! Can't wait to share..

NEW YORK – The much discussed documentary "Waiting for Superman," which offers a harsh portrait of the country's public schools, has inspired a promotional collaboration among the Borders Group superstore chain, an education fundraiser and the publisher of the movie's companion book.

On Dec. 4 and Dec. 5, any Borders customer making an in-store purchase, whether of a book or a bagel or a latte, will receive a $15 gift card to donate to a public school of choice through DonorsChoose.org, an Internet-based charity. Anyone purchasing the book "Waiting for 'Superman': How We Can Save America's Failing Public Schools" will receive a second $15 card.

The companion text was published by PublicAffairs, part of the Perseus Books Group, which along with Borders and DonorsChoose.org announced the campaign Sunday.

MARK THOSE CALENDERS and be sure to let the kids make their own purchase. The more the merrier for any school you choose!
