Vote Early and Often (A solicitation)

The public school where I work, Thomas G. Morton School in Philadelphia is trying to win 200 new computers for our classrooms.  Our school counselor wrote a proposal for a $250K grant being awarded by Pepsi.  You can help us win the computers by going to www.refresheverything.com/mortonschool, registering and voting for Morton's proposal.  You can vote once everyday until June 30.  If you have more than one e-mail address, you can vote once everyday for each e-mail address.  You can vote for other proposals, but please vote for only one $250K proposal - the one for Morton School.  Our motto is "Morton is on the Move!"  Please help our students truly be on the move by helping put ten new computers in each classroom.



Edited to add:  This post is a solicitation.   If you are able to help, I sincerely appreciate it.  If not, that's fine too.  Comments about what I may or may not include in my blog are neither necessary nor appreciated.

  1. you got my vote - and how cool that you are going for Macs 10 is a good number. I actually have 5 (dinosaur) PCs in my room, but I try to have my students use them as often as possible. We do have a computer lab that they go to once every 2 weeks, but when we are doing a report or something I take them in there, give them some general instruction and let them do research on line. They love using the computers.

  4. It looks like you are still in the running for July. Have you asked any other voting partners in the challenge to help? Folks in the top 10 need help to stay there. If you do it make sure you have someone leave a comment that Morton School is voting for them and ask for votes in return. We move from 180 rank to 122 in 2 days with the help of voting partners.
