Due to a continuous budget shortfall, many King County teachers are unable to fund classroom projects. Hearing that need, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Donorschoose.org, Starbucks, the Community Center for Education Results and the Road Map Project team are partnering up to help public schools.

On October 5th, Starbucks across King County will be giving away $10 DonorsChoose gift cards with any purchase. The gift cards will redeemable at www.donorschoose.org/kingcounty2011 where you, the donor, can select from a list of local teachers’ requests for needed classroom materials and student projects. That $10 gift card will be applied to the teacher request or project of your choice.

With your gift card, you can make fun, much-needed classroom projects a reality, like:

- Ms. Chock's classroom, who would like dictionaries and books for Battle of the Books.

There are many more projects that could use your help, so if you live in King County, make sure to head to your local Starbucks on October 5th, pick up a DonorsChoose gift card, and help a teacher make their classroom a better place.
