STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Hello All! 

My brother is a teacher in a small town in KS with a high poverty level (greater than 50% of the kids are on free or reduced lunches - to qualify you cannot be more than 130% of the national poverty level which is $23K per year for a family of four).  Anyway, he is the PE teacher and assistant  principal of a small consolidated school district.  For many of the kids in his school, good nutrition is not a key part of their lives.  Because of this, he feels that PE and learning about remaining active in life is even more critical. 

Sonic is sponsoring a contest (limeades for learning) to fund projects that teachers submit.  My brother has a project submitted (and so does my sister in law).  They would appreciate your votes!  You can vote for them by registering and then going to Location - Kansas, District - West Elk.  My brother's project is called Move... Motivate... Motorskills.  Take the time to read his submission - it will tell you a little about how much he cares!  My sister-in-laws project is Organized Space, Organized Mind.

You can vote daily!  Please spread the word.  Thanks!!  If you have an extra $5, you can also donate to fund the projects through DonorsChoose - an excellent organization to help fund education!
