Update....(still squeeing inside)

So my whole project online to raise funds for graphic novels was FULLY FUNDED in just a couple of hours, thanks to amazing comic writer Kelly Sue DeConnick, who boosted my signal, Another famous comic writer donated, too. And several people want to send graphic novels directly to my school to donate them, including Kelly Sue! And she wants to send some extras right to my school, too. I am just sitting here rather stunned. If anyone out there still is in a place where they want to and are able to help, the donorschoose.org site is full of teachers' projects to help enrich the lives of their students, so go there and find and find a project that speaks to you. :). My students will be SO excited when the box of more than 25 brand-new graphic novels arrive.

And go read things Kelly Sue writes...Captain Marvel, for example, is brilliant!

No kidding! Cool, huh? So now I have my kids write thank you letters that get forwarded to the donors, get parental permission to take some pictures to post on the project page (of the kids using the materials)...this will be fun. I am probably going to give the kids the option of a formal letter or a formal letter done graphic novel art style. :). I haven't stopped fangirling though over communicating with one of my idols...

Oh yes, especially the latter. It is beyond awesome that a comic writer like her is pulling so many strings for you. *squees with you*
