Tweet to Help Patch Aid Super Storm Sandy Victims

By Tweeting with the hashtag #PatchRebuilds, you can add $1 to Patch's Sandy relief efforts.

 

Patch is excited to announce its partnership with you, the readers, to help raise money for Super Storm Sandy relief. 

The latest project, called Patch Rebuilds, is a simple proposition: for every tweet that includes the hashtag #PatchRebuilds, Patch will donate $1 to AmeriCares Superstorm Sandy Relief Efforts, up to $125,000.

Do you care about a particular place that was affected? Give a shout-out to that community in your tweet, and include #PatchRebuilds.

Launched just a day ago, the Patch Rebuilds campaign is already quickly taking hold. Check out the official Patch Rebuilds page to see a live tracker of money being raised to help Hurricane Sandy victims. By Thursday, the amount was more than $6,000.

All you have to do is jump on Twitter and send a tweet, just make sure it includes #PatchRebuilds. 

Share the page with your friends and family to help spread the word about how easy it is to raise money for the cause.

Remember, #PatchRebuilds

Corrections: 1. Straw man attack: nobody is blaming BCS for district-wide growth. Nobody. 2. BCSRead More does not get "half the funding" of LASD. BCS gets about 6500 and LASD gets about 9500. The BCS program for typical children costs about twice as much as the comparable LASD program. BCS is simple an expensive hybrid public/private school, nothing more. 3. Mr. Roode pointed out that there are about 100 or so special ed. students at LASD (I cannot verify this but it seems very low). LASD calls out an annual expense of $7.5 million for special ed. meaning each of these students cost LASD $75,000, not $1,000 as he implied. 4. The law and the courts have ALREADY compelled LASD to give reasonably equivalent facilities and they have. BCS has a lower student/teacher ratio meaning that they have more classrooms for the same number of kids. This is not, legally speaking, LASD's problem. 5. Mr. Roode has yet to explain how the Covington campus could be 16 acres. Further, he continues to spread the fallacy that campuses ACREAGE is even remotely relevant to its student capacity. Campuses are limited by their location and traffic, not how many acres of grass there is in the back. 6. Were it not for BCS, we would have passed a bond in the last election, as the polling shows. BCS litigation has ripped our community apart and has left it with a mountain to climb when it comes to operating in a normal fashion.

@David R. I think Homestead uses EarthCare Recycling, based on its April 6 E-Waste collection dayRead More publicity (http://bit.ly/10mIV14) : www.earthcarerecycling.com "Recycle FREE your old electronic equipment - working or not! Anything with a plug or PC board inside. Also accepted are non-household batteries, VHS tapes and other media, and scrap metal. Visit www.earthcarerecycling.com for a list of accepted items. "

What kind of bins are there? Do you take used CDROMs? How about VHS tapes? Cables and wire?

I saw a public report that said most of the discussion related to carpooling and so forth, sinceRead More Blach is separated so much from the rest of the school. You know, things like dropping off both kids at Egan, and then a group of kids headed for Blach share a ride or vice versa. I don't see how any nonparents can really help with that.
