My First Donor's Choose Project!

I'm so excited about my first Donor's Choose Project.  I am requesting an iPod Touch for classroom use.  (I really wanted an iPad, but I couldn't start with that!) Since I am asking others to donate I felt I needed to start by donating as well.  So I have made the first donation of $5.  I would appreciate any donation you are able to give!  Next job for me...read up on making a Donor's Choose button!! Here's the link for my project!

A Great Big GIANT 'THANK YOU' to Mrs. Saoud from Primary Graffiti for giving me her Donor's Choose Button, and sticking with me getting it posted and working!!! (she modified it to go to MY project) THANK YOU!!!

  1. You can have my button. We can just change the code. I would be happy to share the buttom with you. It's not specific to my site!

  2. Congratulations on your grant request! Hopefully you will get donations around Memorial Day...I find that I get donors during military holidays :).
    I wanted to tell you that I love how you follow blogs on the right side!!!

  3. Donor's Choose is an awesome site! I have gotten six grants in the past two school years. It is an amazing way to get classroom supplies! Best of luck on your grant! :)

  4. Thank you Cheryl!!! Now how do we do that??? Do you email it as an attachment??? There's a lot I'm still trying to master in the blogging ligistics world!!!
    Thanks for the heads up Randi..I'd love for it to get funded before school out..not sure if it's unrealistic or not..I put it on my facebook page & I need to get a letter out to the parents this week.
    That's GREAT Mrs. Pollard, is it possible to see your funded projects? Who gave? Families of students? Your friends? Strangers? Any advise?? Thanks, Nancy

  5. I will update and email the code. You can add it as a html.

    You can get fully funded before the school year ends but if school end in less than 30 days from now, you will not receive your "goodies" until the following school year.

    I finally received my full funding and found out last week that I won't receive my stuff until the 2011-2012 school year.

    You are able to keep the project going through the summer and begin new projects.

  7. The email keeps bouncing back to me. I want to try a second code. This code will not include the "grab" and maybe it'll work better. My email is primarygraffiti@yahoo.com.
