but this is important and I need your help.
Our school (the grade school that I went to as a little girl and the school my kiddos go to now) was entered into a contest to win 50 laptops. There were 8000 schools from all over the United States that were entered and only 50 made the cut. Our school not only made it into the contest but is now in second place. This is a small parochial school with very limited funds. Much of the school is run on volunteer basis including our "computer lab". Unfortunately we do not have funds to update our computers so our lab is really in need.
Our school is a fabulous school. As part of the curriculum the kids do much volunteering in the local nursing homes, parks, and food pantry. The academics are always first rate. As the kids go on to the very large local high schools they are always in the top of their class and many of the valedictorians come from our little school.
Holy Family works really hard to make the school a family environment. They teach core values of kindness, courtesy, and love. Every year on the first day of school the kids walk into the building with "We Are Family" blaring down the hallways. It is a great school. And I am so fortunate that my kids are able to go there.
ANYWAY, if you could all take one minute out of your day to vote for our school to win the laptops I would greatly appreciate it. It is one vote per email (I believe per day). Here is how:
Go to www.charter.com/laptop
click on the blue "learn more" button
click on the orange "vote now" button
click "ranking"
click on Holy Family School
click VOTE now
Enter Name
Enter email address (one vote per email address)
Click on fruit for security purposes
Click VOTE
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

I voted! I hope they win!
Done and happy to do it!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!
It really is a worthy school. They treat every child like family. When a family of the school is in trouble they do everything they can to help out. Any family that can not afford tuition gets assistance too. When a little girl in 2nd grade was diagnosed with cancer the school raised thousands of dollars to help pay for her medical bills. Families have been cooking meals for her family and donating gas cards to her parents for trips to and from the hospital. And the principal is constantly thinking of new fundraisers for them. It is an awesome school! :)
Done and Done! Glad to help!
I hope you win! Just voted... :)

I voted! I went to a small parochial grade school in Green Bay back in the day and know first hand how important donations are for an excellent school to stay on top of their game. I hope your school wins! Keep us updated!
