/24-7PressRelease/ - EDMOND, OK, September 05, 2008 - Whether it's new technology - like an electronic whiteboard or clickers, or the everyday basic supplies - like color copy paper and computer software, there are very few classrooms that have all of the resources needed to provide a first-class education for our children. Sadly, it is the future that will pay the true cost of underfunded classrooms. To quote Derek Curtis Bok, former president of Harvard University - "If you think Education is Expensive, Try Ignorance."
According to Greg Tillman, founder of BuyToTeach.com, "We are in business to provide additional funding for classrooms, so offering these classroom grants is the logical way to promote the launch of our site. We are setting out on a journey to make a difference in the classroom where it matters most and these grants promote the true value of the BuyToTeach.com program. These grants are designed to help us reach our goal of increasing funds in 2,008 classrooms during this school year."
BuyToTeach.com has announced several $2,008 grants to be awarded to schools and classrooms that establish a partnership and raise funds through the BuyToTeach.com online mall. Shoppers make purchases using the classroom's mall which includes over 250 popular online merchants. The purchases create rebates from the merchants, of which as much as 80% is designated to the classroom. Teachers create their classroom's free mall in a few seconds and have a year-round, no-hassle source of new classroom funds. Parents, family and friends of the students gladly participate, knowing they are creating a better education for their children.
Sharing the BuyToTeach.com opportunity with other schools and teachers increases a classroom's reward and chance of receiving one of the grants, which are provided in addition to the donations earned through the classroom's mall. At least four $2,008 grants will be awarded to classrooms that participate in the BuyToTeach.com program, based on the classroom's participation in the program. Full details are available on the BuyToTeach.com website.
