Help Needed - IMMEDIATELY


A couple of months ago I had my students enter the Doodle for Google contest that asked students in various age categories to best represent the theme "My wish for the world" using the google logo. I turned this into their weekly writing assignment that I had students complete a doodle and a short writing assignment to go with it. I took the top six doodles and write ups and entered them into the competition.

They posted the regional winners today online and I just about fainted with excitement when I saw that our regions winner was none other then our own Hayden Furman!!!!

The contest has now entered the online voting phase that runs from today (May 11 to May 18). We need as many people from around the world as possible to help vote for Hayden Furman's doodle. Our school will win some much needed technology grant money should he take the top doodling prize.

Please help and vote for Hayden's google at: http://www.google.com/doodle4google/vote.html# (he is listed under grades 4-6 and is representing region 4).

Thank you!

Mrs. Heaton
