Can you imagine what could be done with $25,000 in a school classroom?
What if you were to choose how the money was spent? What would you buy? Books? Technology? Much needed supplies?
Thanks to Macy's, one school is going to get a $25,000 and a chance to make a dream a reality.
AND YOU CAN NOMINATE YOUR CHILD'S SCHOOL!
When I found out about this opportunity from Macy's, I couldn't sign up fast enough. I have a dream when it comes to my children's middle school: funding the music program. Our school district simply does not have the funds to properly build a music library. Every student is required to take music, either by taking band or the general music course, so it would seem that more tools are needed. Studies have shown how richly a child's academics are improved when actively pursuing music.

So, in short, that is what I love to see happen if my children's school won. Because not just MY children would benefit, but an entire school population. And with the programs, books, and instruments that could be purchased, that gift from Macy's could be felt for years to come.
