I think the issues on the "Bullies" project are in the back end; I've already sent an email inquiring as to what's going on with that, and any other projects appearing as "ineligible." For now, please focus on other projects until we get it straightened out. Thanks.

Bullies are a pain is still $93 short and funding. I have written to find out why when you open the page is is not showing funding but if you click here http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/viewChallenge.html?id=23248&utm_source=BC08&utm_medium=widget&utm_content=GP&utm_campaign=23248 it should be on the 1st page with just $93 left. Don't open the project, if you want to read about it, then use the back button to get back to the overview of projects and give there, after you are done reading.

Oh I love this teacher and her students! http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=305890&challengeid=23248 Sars thanks for picking it as one of the loans for today! I had to go back and donate again, even if it is after midnight. Only $300 left until it will be finished. Can't wait for the challenge today!
I am thinking this challenge has added health benefits. No eating out=money for TN + DC! Win, Win!

I never heard of West Elm, so I looked at their website. OH WOW! Thank you for introducing that to me. I think Christmas shopping just got a little easier (now to donate! since Christmas shopping would be even better with a gift card!).

When I look at the Donors Choose page, it looks like 'Bullies are a Pain' is still short $100. Does it take awhile to update the page?

Unless I'm missing it somewhere, Sars, it looks like the links in the body of the post don't have the Tomato Nation header.

Angie, my strategy is much like yours – I carefully picked about a dozen projects on the first day of the challenge and donated, and now I'm donating as highlighted projects or soon-to-expire projects strike my fancy. Like the incubators for kindergartners (which is fully funded already – yay!), which is a project I did in kindergaren and loved.

Looks like we have another big project expiring relatively soon. "Piano Students Have Class" is loking for method books for immigrant and refugee students in Missouri: http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=284303&challengeid=23248

Bullies is funded, actually I think overfunded as it sayed fully funded and now there is another TomatoNation donation that came in immediately after. So Yeah for Team AWESOME
I would love some of you to throw some weight behind this one for a teacher who this is her first project and is for a school with a high percentage of military kids. Military Students Succeeding While Parents Are Deployed http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=287281&challengeid=23248 Lets help this get funded!
