Poegles.com is launching its first philanthropic effort by joining forces with Mustaches for Kids and DonorsChoose.org to help bring poetry to students in needy classrooms. Our Mustaches will benefit public school students through DonorsChoose.org, a totally sweet not-for-profit web site that turns teachers into social entrepreneurs by giving them a venue to submit project proposals for materials or experiences their students need to learn. One hundred percent of the donated amount goes to the classroom, which makes DonorsChoose.org a way for all of us to establish a direct and meaningful connection with our recipients. With a big push from NYC, combined with the efforts of Growers in cities such as San Francisco, Seattle, Charlotte, Philadelphia, and Houston, we are hoping to raise $1,000,000 for public school kids across the country. We know what you're thinking: "Mustache, you crazy!" Well, maybe we are. But we also believe in the power and sweetness of the 'stache. hide

  • Fun Reading that Increases Learning

    Funded Dec 12, 2008

    Thank you so much for funding my project. My kids will be so excited to find out that we are getting these magazines. I am working very hard to create an atmosphere in my classroom where reading and math are something fun and not a chore and not just for a test. Each one of these magazines help connect the kids to math and reading and to the world they live in. They also help me begin discussions and debates about important topics. Once again thank you, what a wonderful holiday gift”

  • Future Poets Need Poetry Journals...Can You Help?

    Funded Dec 6, 2008

    Thank you so much for donating to our project! It was a wonderful surprise this morning. I was truly unsure if we would receive funding with the tough times we are all facing this year, but luckily there are people like you. We have been handed many budget cuts this school year and this organization is one of the few ways in which we can make a difference in our classrooms.

    The class is about to embark on a poetry journey and it will be even better now that we will have the resources you've provided. I can't wait to tell the children that we are going to receive the new journals. They will be so excited on Monday morning. They are a wonderful group of children! Thank you again for all your help. You definitely have helped to make a difference! Thank you!!!”
