I can imagine it is difficult to walk up and ask people to vote and they probably don't always get the nicest responses. These teachers are passionate and taking up their time trying to improve the lives of Racine's youth when they could easily just relax and not even try. I would rather have dedicated and hard working teachers setting an example for others to follow. I agree with the other comment above- volunteer and lead the way Uncle!! The email for the teacher is above I am sure they could use you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5491910093571620081.post-33742650670156065462010-08-12T10:11:37.786-07:002010-08-12T10:11:37.786-07:00Hi Uncle,

Perhaps we could make branding deals with corporations to better fund our schools.<br />Pepsi made an exclusive deal with RUSD back in the McGoldrick days - no idea if that's still going - but Pepsi machines are exclusive in RUSD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5491910093571620081.post-65322630724605302682010-08-11T17:30:28.012-07:002010-08-11T17:30:28.012-07:00If you don't have a Facebook account, but stil...If you don't have a Facebook account, but still want to vote, and don't want all the emails-- here's how you do it.<br /><br />1) Go to facebook.com<br /><br />2) SIgn up, but don't fill in all the unnecessary information.<br /><br />3) After you confirm your account through the email message they send, sign in to your account.<br /><br />4) Vote for Mitchell Middle School 5 times.

Mitchell Middle has invested a lot of time and money into this contest including purchasing ads in our local plays, paying for a booth at our country fair and going out to local businesses to gain support.

But the reality is one school - and possibly a second - has done the legwork needed to win this contest. Mitchell has done incredible work to attract 7,000+ votes, placing it among the top 1% in the country. <br /><br />If other local schools were in the running we'd loudly support them.

I voted. Directly due to the awareness I got from this site.
