Final DonorsChoose Notes

I had meant to post something or another yesterday, after we got back, but, well, I was still in vacation mode, and didn’t get around to it. I also didn’t queue up anything for today, thinking that I would write something last night, but I didn’t feel like doing that, either. You may get another “Classic Edition” post this afternoon, or you may get nothing. Check back regularly to find out.

I do want to post a belated wrap-up of the DonorsChoose fundraiser (official tallies from Janet):

Total donations: $22,554.38
Amount matched by SEED: $10,000
Completion bonus from DonorsChoose: $1447.30
Total raised: $34,001.68

Not too shabby. Readers of this blog contributed $1226.02 toward the Uncertain Principles part of the challenge, which is also pretty impressive. It’s certainly more than I really expected to end up with.

Many thanks to all those who contributed. Your generosity will produce at least a local improvement in the state of American education, and make some deserving school teachers’ lives easier.

Regular blogging will resume tomorrow.
