I’m going to have to give this some thought, but I’m not going to back down from a challenge.

This is an excellent idea, Cliff. I accept the challenge. I’ll let everyone know what we’re doing in the days ahead.

I’m going to share this with my graduate students and challenge them to do this in their classrooms.

Pet shelters are always in need of assistance.

Adopt a highway and fight litter.

Duck’s Unlimited is also a find organization.

Thanks for all the support. I’m looking forward to hearing all about the good that each of you will be doing. I’d also like to see many, many more teachers accept the challenge. Please feel free to distribute this widely.

I just came back to see how many are accepting the challenge. I hope the number keeps growing. I think all of us that read this blog should help Clif spread the word by telling our friends and colleagues about this.

I was already planning a fundraising project with my students, but I’ve decided to increase our target goal since I read this. I accept THE CHALLENGE.

We’re going to be doing a canned food drive in the classes that I teach. We’re going to donate the contributed cans of food to a local food bank for them to ditribute for the holidays.

Oh, oh, oh, this is a swell idea, Clif. I’ll need to decide what we’re going to do, but we accpet the challenge, too. I challenge all the other teachers to do this also.

Great ideas, bigskyteacher. Thanks for sharing them.

Being from Memphis I’d also suggest the following that help ill children and their families. All of these have good websites and resources.

-St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital
-Target House
-Ronald McDonald House

I was trying to think of things that teachers could easily complete between now and the end of the semester. Here are some suggestions.

-Penny or coin drives. Let the students learn about a few charitiable causes in the area and then choose what to do with the money.

-Clothes drives

-Adopt-an-Angel or Angel-Tree programs are available in most towns. Help provide holiday gifts for families in need.

-Toys for Tots, Salvation Army, and many local fire stations are involved in providing kids in need with holiday gifts.

-Recycling program. Donate the money.

-Kiva.org. Clif has already posted about how simple it is to become a part of this effective charity effort.
