Goin’ All The Way, Day 7: The slow dance
Put your heads on my shoulder: $24,331 at this writing, with almost nineteen thousand students reached and 172 projects completed! Almost halfway there: remember, 50K gets you a prom.
I had a whole thing here about shuffling along to “Forever Young,” filled with perspectiveless yearning to do with our own tiny tragedies; that’s how we rolled in the privileged suburbs with standard non-lethal weather. But that’s not quite the song I want this morning, after lethal weather took out after Moore, OK yesterday. If there’s anyone you love who doesn’t know it, speak up; you just don’t know what’s going to happen.
Then get on the floor with some Oklahoma projects today. Hat tip to Charmaine for getting me started with a couple of links, and please feel free to send more, or donate to the steampunk reading club; Ms. Regan’s rad scientists; a meteorology project in Arkansas; or Play-Doh and wiggly eyes (ends this week!).
This is what this is; this is what you do. It’s not too big, and you can help. Please email OK/weather project suggestions — and your donation receipts! — to me at bunting at tomatonation dot com.
Prizes: copies of Back to the Future, Peggy Sue Got Married, or Romy & Michele’s High-School Reunion (best dance sequence ever; high ten, Alan Cumming) for five (5) winners — and, if we can hit 28K by 5 PM ET, a colorful sur-prize.
Questions? Look here. Give right here (then give some more). And stay as safe as you can, Nation.

Is anyone else having trouble submitting payment? Just wondering if it’s me or if it’s a broader problem. I sent in a help ticket.
Sars, Charmaine, and the rest of the Nation: thank you from DonorsChoose.org! We’re constantly blown away by your generosity and thoughtfulness to give where it counts. So excited to see what Prom brings to Oklahoma today.

Here is a Moore, OK project….Let’s get it finished off :) We can do it….unstoppable…that is us!
Jenn, I had trouble earlier, I haven’t tried again.
Sarah, it should be working now. There was a problem on their end earlier.
Thank you Tomato Nation for continuing to support my DonorsChoose project! I cannot believe how close the project is to being funded! Thank you so much for all you do for classrooms!
Thank you so much for funding my Donors Choose project! I am very excited to have my Dr. Seuss books for next year. donorschoose.org/knmoore
