At 7am last Wednesday, we kicked off a celebration of teachers that—in just 24 hours—would inspire over 20,000 donors to give over $2 million to support 11,000 classrooms. We’re talking, of course, about #BestSchoolDay.
We could write pages and pages about all of the incredible things that happened, but we know you don’t have all day. That’s why we picked out a few of the moments from #BestSchoolDay that gave us the most joy, like when…
The excitement began on #BestSchoolDay Eve

Tomorrow, your donations will be matched on EVERY project. #BestSchoolDay is back! https://www.donorschoose.org/blog/best-school-day-2017/
