Hi Friends,   I want to make sure my students have the materials they need to succeed. That's why I've created a classroom project request at DonorsChoose.org, an award-winning charity.   I'm asking for donations of any size to help my kids. For the next 4 days, any donation you make to my project will be doubled (up to $50). If you know anyone who is passionate about education, please pass this along. Your donation will brighten my students' school year, and you'll get photos and thank yous from our class.   Check out the exciting things we're up to in my classroom:   Chromebooks in the Library   To have your donation matched dollar for dollar, enter the promo code LIFTOFF during checkout. This awesome match offer lasts through   January 17 .   My students and I greatly appreciate your support!   Ms. Grange
