Are you interested in “adopting” a school in need from across the country?
Looking for an opportunity to MAKE a difference?
I have a collaborative project for you, The Giving Tree is a passion project of one of my 3rd graders http://www.courant.com/community/colchester/hc-cr-0330-colchester-20170327-story.html that started local, and we are ready to take nationally after my own experience in Phoenix.
Schools would: Create a giving tree
Enlist community partners to help raise funds and supplies for schools in need
Communicate with their “adopted” school
Communicate with the “Giving Group” via google hangout 1 per quarter to share stories, successes and failures (not a bad thing!)
Please let me know if you are interested, I am in planning stages, but will start a Google Folder as a starting place for ideas and resources!
Please see Twitter @technojohnson to see my amazing experience from the AASL conference last week!
