I don’t know about your school district, but in ours, teachers have received huge pay cuts.  Not only teachers, but programs as well, athletics, band and electives like foreign language.  Parents and teachers are stepping up and volunteering to help out, but it really isn’t enough.

Right now, Bing is hosting a contest called "Our School Needs."  Bing will award a quarter-million dollars, divided among four schools—$50,000 to three first-prize winners, and one $100,000 grand prize!  Why wouldn’t you enter your school?  Check out their for hints on the submission process.  You can enter between now and Friday, October 22nd.  So you have to act quick!
