Welcome to my #PloughShare Birthday page! Instead of gifts this year, my birthday wish is to help high-need kids in public schools with Applied Learning. Can you remember a moment when something just "clicked" and you understood how something you learned in school applied to your life? How it translated to the real world? That's Applied Learning. Imagine giving that gift to an amazing kid. Now let's do it! Since I'm turning 40, please help by picking a classroom project from the list below and supporting them with a donation of $40 (or $400 or any other amount!). Thank you in advance for your generosity - for being a part of my birthday wish -- and more importantly, for helping these kids! PRO TIP: If you donate over $50 to a project, you'll receive hand-written thank you notes from the kids in your classroom. Believe me - they will melt your friggin' heart! (A special shout out to Tim Ferriss for turning me on to this charity years ago. It's meant a lot.) hide
