Saved by the Well is on Amazon!
I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season!
As many of you know, I am part of an organization called Dream Village. Dream Village uses picture books and the web to help children learn about and address the world's most pressing issues. The best part is we donate 50% of our profits to our featured nonprofits based on how our readers (kids), vote!
I am very excited to let you all know that we have just published our very first book entitled Saved By The Well (http://bit.ly/savedbythewell) in time for this holiday season. They make a fantastic holiday gift - not only does your purchase make a difference, but you help children learn how to make a difference, too.
*Buy a hardcover version of Saved by the Well
*Buy a softcover version of Saved by the Well
Please help us to kick off our first publication with a bang and purchase your copy during this holiday season!
Thank you!

Charter School Advocacy Day & More
FROM THE NYC CHARTER SCHOOL CENTER:
It's time for the charter community to stand up and be counted:
FIRST: Write Gov. Paterson today. The governor is currently preparing his budget proposal - tell him not to hurt charters again.
We have prepared a sample letter, for you to personalize by describing how funding cuts have hurt your school. Volume counts in Albany. If just 50 percent of charter parents write the governor, it will mean 25,000 letters on his desk! Don't forget that teachers, staff and supporters also can send letters.
SECOND: Sign up for Advocacy Day: February 2, 2010
Our goal is to get 2,400 charter advocates to Albany to rally and meet with lawmakers. We must all unite and force the lawmakers to listen. Logistics, food and transportation will all be funded and coordinated by the NYCSA and NYC Charter Center. Please click [here to] download the advocacy registration form.
THIRD: Sign our electronic petition.
We need 100,000 signatures on our online petition to "stop unfair charter funding cuts." Once we reach our goal we can use the petition results over and over again with lawmakers and the media. (Remember, volume counts!) Please take 3 minutes to sign it and pass it on.
