Saturday Service: Calling all public school teachers!!! get help to fund projects in your class!!

Saturday Service is all about the things we can do to give back to the community, and this is a way we can give back directly to the teachers and schools. I wish this had been around (or that I had known about it) when I was a teacher! This is a great program to help teachers to do projects in their classrooms that they otherwise would not be able to do.

U.S. Cellular has this "Calling All Teachers" program in conjunction with DonorsChoose.org. Teachers can register on the site throughout the summer and then when school starts, those teachers that signed up can post requests for classroom projects that can possibly be funded. There is more information on this program here.

If you are a public school teacher, I recommend registering NOW at DonorsChoose.org to be designated a "U.S. Cellular Teacher". Then check back in August for more details about submitting your project for funding.

If you are not a teacher but would like to help fund some of the projects, check back in the fall to see what you can help with!
