Welcome to my Give-Back Birthday page! As some of you know, and some (ok, a much smaller number) of you care, my birthday is in October. I am going to be Five Years Away From Medicare-Eligibility Old. Oy... In lieu of gifts and party favors this year, my birthday wish is to help students get the school supplies they desperately need. If you really want me to have a happy birthday, you'll check out the projects listed on this page and donate whatever you can (assuming you were going to get me a gift in the first place, that is...). Anyway, with DonorsChoose, everybody wins: Students, teachers, me, and you (receiving thank-you's and pictures from "your" classroom is one of the best feelings ever, trust me!) . So, huge thanks to everyone who donates - you're doing a very good thing. The rest of you are out of my Will. Back to watching Matlock and sobbing quietly into my jello now. Sigh... Sarah XO hide
