Dear Friends,

PLEASE VOTE!   http://www.weareteachers.com/teaching-ideas/grant/teaching-idea?app=26587&grantId=104

 I wanted to let you know that I am participating in a contest sponsored by Discover Pathway to Financial Success and an online community, called WeAreTeachers. I submitted a teaching idea answering the question: Tell us about a lesson you teach that helps teens understand the importance of saving their money, budgeting, or setting financial goals. The 5 teachers with the most votes win an iPod Touch and $100 for the classroom. The recipients are selected through an online voting process. SO -- If you have a moment, I'd really appreciate you going online and voting for my idea. It would really mean a lot to me to have your vote and support! Just go here and follow the directions.

Thanks,

Donald
