This concludes today's lesson: Increasing your fundraising goal.

Good job Cameron!

He's has good role models!

Go Cameron!!!

Cameron sent out his thank-you emails from the website. It looks like he hit Submit more than once on a few of them, so you may get some duplicates.

He's almost done with the workbook already. There are some bonus problems on the Math-a-thon website that he'll work on once he finishes the book. He wants to have everything ready to turn in when he goes back to school on Monday!

He needs to get everything in by the end of next week. He worked on the problems some more today, and he only has 4 pages left to do in the workbook. Plus some bonus problems on the website. Go Cameron!

Awesome - thanks! Paypal is also an option for anyone else needing to beat the deadline. PM me for the address if you want, and I'll just add the money that way.

The students do get prizes for raising money. He already qualified for a T-shirt, backpack, and Six Flags ticket. The student with the most donations wins their choice of a digital camera, MP3 player, or game controller. The cool thing is that he isn't motivated by the prizes - in fact he hasn't even mentioned them. He's doing this because he genuinely wants to help the kids who need it.

We saw a feature on St Jude during a Parade break this morning. They are really doing some good things there!
