I am posting this to share an idea that I have. As the mother of a
dyslexic child and as an educator, I am very frustrated with the
lack of help for children in high school. It breaks my heart to see
my daughter work so hard to get her grades up high enough to get on
a sports team, just to get kicked off later because they won't make
any accomodations for that. I think this is wrong, the kids need the
extra curriculum activities to boost their self-esteem.
A friend of mine and myself both have graduate degrees in
education. We are trying to find a way to fund a private high
school for students with learning disabilities. It is very difficult
to get money to start a project like this. One way that I have
found, it that tyson has a project called A+ school project and on
all of their meat items there is a label with the A+ school project
on it to cut and save. Each label is worth 24 cents and when
collected by the school can be used any way the school chooses. I
have started saving them and would be very appreciative of anyone
else who might save them for us.
Also if you have any other ideas for start up funds, PLEASE let me
know.
Thank you,
Diana
