Team Mid West put this video and challenge together.  They’re encouraging every student at the schools they toured to to bring one dollar in for Schools for Schools on December 1st.  They figured that if everyone did it, we could raise over $60,000 in one day, which got us to thinking…

The average American school has 535 students.  Multiply that by the 1484 schools signed up for Schools for Schools at the moment and you get 793,940 students.  If each of those students brought just one dollar in for their partner school, we would raise nearly $800,000 in one day.  Like Brian O’Neill at Capuchino High School said, “if a lot of people do something small, it becomes something big.”
