Mustache update
With only a little more than a week to go in this year's Mustaches for Kids fundraiser, Dr. Alonso has raised the most money for city classroom projects among Baltimore's mustache growers: $2,202. The male teachers at Cherry Hill Elementary/Middle are in second place with $1,695. School board member Bob Heck is in fourth with $1,078. The money raised -- more than $12,000 in all -- supports DonorsChoose.org, which allows teachers to submit classroom wish lists and then finds people to fund the projects. A breakdown of how much all the mustache growers have raised and who's donated to them is on the DonorsChoose Web site.
Meanwhile, DonorsChoose has been selected as the beneficiary of an annual philanthropy campaign by the financial news and advice company Motley Fool. The name of this fundraiser: Foolanthropy.

Good morning to all! I just happen to be one of those mustached teachers from Cherry Hill. Believe me when I say that we do not look very good right now... these mustaches are ridiculous. However, you could make us look a whole lot better if you helped in our quest to beat Dr. Alonso in this fund raising competition. If visit the site below you can show the Boss what kind of power a group of young teachers can wield. Thanks!
