It's not too late!

Thanks to all who supported Berwyn teachers through donations (small and large) to The Berwyn Challenge on Donorschoose.org this Holiday season!

7 of the 14 proposals in The Berwyn Challenge have been fully funded!

Our thermometer is not reflecting that for some reason. I think that only donations given directly through the Challenge page are counted. If a donor clicks on the individual proposal and then donates, it won't count toward our thermometer. No matter, as long as the funding gets to the classrooms. Here is the link directly to The Berwyn Challenge:

It is not too late! The BerwynCARES committee will be choosing proposals to fund using the money we raised from the Kids Concert, but new proposals are being added just about every week and there is more need than we have funds. The Challenge will remain active throughout the spring. Please consider making a donation to a classroom proposal through The Berwyn Challenge. Together, we can make a difference.

After taking a break in December, the CARES Board of Directors will be meeting in late January to plan our spring activities. Check back on this blog or our website for the latest news and happenings in education in Berwyn. Happy New Year!
