Help local teachers buy supplies for their classrooms
/The IRS allows teachers to declare some relatively small amount of money on classroom supplies every year — $250, I think. But every teacher, I’m told, spends more than that.
Kenneth Maldonado, for example, is a great friend and a great teacher entering his sixth year in education in Seattle. His math classroom has one chalkboard, and he’s asking for help to buy a few whiteboards.

Help as you’re able, and if you post similar requests to Mr. Maldonado’s in the comments, I’ll do my best to repost them and spread the word.
