Hear Ye

This is the email I wrote to my team:

As some of you may already know, but for those that don't know, Will T has been volunteering with Citizen Schools (once every Wednesday for the past 10 weeks). It was a great opportunity for me to get back into the classroom. I taught my 6th/7th grade students about Food Blogging. Most days, my team and I brought in food samples for the kids to taste and blog about them (Shout out to free Google food...hollaaa). We even planned a field trip to Amin Indian Restaurant (yes I know, it's only 2.5 stars on Yelp...). In the end, many of the students created blogs (posts, pictures, videos) and learned to express their valued opinion about food. To top it off; Zagat's Marketing Director visited on the last day and spoke about blogs and food!

Here is a list of the blogs, check them out! Free feel to comment (a comment can go a long way)!

Also, watch the Citizen School video, featuring yours truly! Google Citizen Schools Video Yes, you have my permission to bookmark the video if you'd like...

Last thing, Google just donated $3.25 million dollars to Citizen Schools. I didn't get any of that, but it's good to know Google is doing its part to close the achievement gap.

Happy Holidays to all! Have a great week.
