You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

Because books.

I wasn't sure about it either, Jesse, but I figured it could stand signal-boosting. You don't have to run it, though. I know we usually don't.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It could totally use signal-boosting! Which is why I'm conflicted.

Can you note that you don't usually post fundraisers because you don't like to pick and chose but and you feel like they're not good stuff yet but this one feels like it's already good stuff?

Mmmm.....that one is tough. I'm agnostic on the question.

This week, 2 kids from school have been hospitalized because of alcohol related incidents. Wednesday, my student who tried to commit suicide was placed on a 72 hour hold. Today we did a search for alcohol and drugs. And now we are having a school lockdown.

What is going on?!

I worry that disclaimers aside you would start seeing a lot of fundraiser submissions.

Could you post it WITHOUT the fundraiser information? People who felt inspired could easily track it down.

Punishingly Intricate

My concern would be the same as Brenda's. There are a ton of worthy fundraisers out there. Where would you stop?

Because books.

Or you could just leave it off. I reblogged it, and I know others are -- maybe I'll post it to Facebook, too.

Kat, that's a rough week. I don't know how you do it.

Yeah, fundraisers are hard.

I love that tumblr.

I dreamed about being at some fundraising dinner with Allen Leech and Whoopi Goldberg last night. (I am not sure where Whoopi came from in my subconscious.)
