Support Yahoo! Homepages for Homerooms!

It's amazing to see how classrooms have been transformed over that past few weeks as teachers prepare for the first day of school. It's impossible to not feel like everyone has a new start, with clean desks, fresh classroom walls, and a general fresh slate.

But even with a fresh start, some teachers and classrooms still need more support to help provide students with a successful, memorable -- and fun -- learning experience.

You can help. And it's as simple as making Yahoo! your home page.

Yahoo! has partnered with DonorsChoose.org for a program called Homepages for Homerooms. Now through October 16 th , public school teachers who place a project on DonorsChoose.org will be eligible to receive funding for their projects from Yahoo!.

Yahoo! will donate $200,000 across the projects that generate the most support.

Here's where you can help: Anyone can support a project by making Yahoo! their homepage, and additionally, by participating in bi-weekly extra credit challenges.

I encourage you to take a look at the wonderful and amazing projects teachers have lined up for their students. And I dare you to tell me you're not inspired.

So go make Yahoo! your homepage and support the project you think should become a reality. You can vote by clicking here.

And cheers to a new and exciting (and drama free!) school year!

ps -- If you know a teacher who has an educational project that needs funding, invite them to submit their project at DonorsChoose.org.
