Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

BTB can help underprivellaged kids to read with a click!



Hey guys, I'll keep this short since it's not Cowboy related. I've already spoke to Grizz about it and he graciously gave the green light. I figured what better place to come to ask for help than BTB!

My father works for Super Stars Literacy, a non profit organization,  working with underprivileged children who have fallen behind on their reading skills. A few important notes their site gives us;

•Children who grow up in poverty receive as little as 40 hours’ exposure to print material prior to entering school, compared to children of wealthy parents, who received an average of 1000 hours exposure.

•There is an almost 90% chance that a child who is a poor reader at the end of grade 1 will be a poor reader in grade 4.

•Children not reading at grade level by the end of the third grade are at serious risk of never graduating from high school.

 

Currently, $10,000 is being offered to 3 non profit organizations. The more we vote, the more money we help SSL receive. All I'm asking you to do is to click your mouse 3 times. You can vote once a day I believe. Voting ends on Jan 15th!

 

1. CLICK HERE

2. Mouse over the Super Stars Literacy logo at the bottom on the sticky note and click "select".

3. When it asks you to donate $1 click yes (the $1 comes from the already established $10,000 fund, not your wallet).

 

Thanks so much for your help BTB. Hope you and your familys have a happy new year, and GO COWBOYS!

PLEASE REC! BUMP! BUMP!

I have noticed a new resurgence in Cowboy hating in 2007, which can only mean one thing- We're back.

Donated my virtual dollar.

Dang, you guys are in 2nd. NEED VOTES!

I saw a dog today. Have you seen a dog? You probably have. How was school? Was it fun? Did you get a lot of homework? Huh? Do you have any friends? Do you have a best friend? Does he have a big coat, too?

I know

I found a FireFox extension that clears LSO’s (similar to cookies) that allows you to vote as much as you want. You have to clear them manually between every vote which is kind of a pain but hey, it works :P

Summarizing the Dallas Cowboys in two words; inconsistently amazing.

I'm not sure if it will work, but if you update this FPost and modify the updated date/time, it might throw it back onto the Recent Fanposts.

No prob.

I’m a Cowboys fan, but an English teacher at heart.
