In February of 2014, we had the pleasure of welcoming ABC News into our classroom. They were filming a story about alternative fundraising organizations like DonorsChoose.org, and we were fortunate enough to share our experience with them.
The full article and video can be found here. A segment from the article can be read below: |

Amy Flatow is a middle school photography teacher at Middle School 51 in Brooklyn, N.Y., who has benefited from donations to her classroom. Since 2008 Flatow has been able to fund 15 projects, most of which have provided computers and printers for her students. She estimates that she's raised as much as $15,000.
"I think good fundraising isn't about giving, but rather feeling good while you give, and I think that's the key to any successful fundraising," Flatow said. "You can give to the project, and then afterwards you end up having something substantial in the classroom that you can see."
