Donors Choose Brown Bag Challenge Update
We're one week into the Donors Choose Brown Bag Challenge and so far, thanks to your efforts to foil up last night's leftovers, we've helped fund three projects: Hidden Hallways to Health, Catered Too, and a personal favorite, Frizzly Food Chain. Come on, you gotta love helping a class have more Ms. Frizzle from The Magic School Bus series in their lives.
We still have 22 days left to kick this challenge in the ass, and a few projects are pretty close to completion:
- My Life in Food: Exploring Recipes as Memoir: Help a 10th grade English class buy 30 copies of Tender at the Bone by Ruth Reichl so students will be inspired to write their own food memoirs.
- We Need To Chill (Our Groceries)! One California high school's new "Life Skills Culinary Arts" program needs a fridge. Get these people a fridge! Though it costs a whopping 1,241.90, we're now only $435 short.
- Growing a Healthier Youth: Since locally-sourced Mystery Meat doesn't seem to be happening any time soon, an Arizona class wants to build their own vegetable garden so they know where their lunch comes from.
Make it happen! Or click around and support some of the other wonderful projects.

I LOVE Donors Choose. I was a middle school teacher in the Bronx and my school benefited from the generosity of Donors Choose tremendously.
I definitely don't want to take away from SE's Brown Bag Challenge, but I do want to provide another option if people don't see exactly what they want. If you have an idea that you don't see there, visit The Generation Project. It's like Donors Choose, but rather than the donors choosing the project to give money to, the donors design their own project based on their own passions. Then teachers can apply to get the money to do the project.
Thank you SE for supporting education!
