My 5 year old son Luke started Kindergarten this year and he is so excited with all the new things he’s been learning. It really had been a while since my wife and I had a child in elementary school because our next youngest child is now 21. With that being said the point that I would like to address here is the lack of funding that the school system is now trying to run on these days. With all the recent budget cuts from the State and Federal, I believe the school has suffered much. Much more than our great country should let happen. Our children are our future and they need all the best and modern resources to get the best education possible.
Most all the schools are in need of school supplies and are asking the parent and the community to donate as much as possible. I know my wife went shopping when all the “Back to School” sales were going on and bought a lot of extra supplies to donate. Many others have done the same but more is needed.
Now here is something that U.S. Cellular has been doing for several years now that could make a huge contribution to help your child’s school. Each year U.S. Cellular has a campaign called “Calling All Communities” that will award a total of 1 million dollars to 18 (eighteen) different schools. The way this campaign works is that the schools receiving the most votes from September 14 thru October 21st will win a share of the 1 million. There will be 1 (one) $150,000 winner and the next 17 top vote getting schools will receive $50,000 each. Now that kind of money could go long ways in helping any school get some of the supplies they really need. This campaign is open to all K-12 schools, big or small, public or private. So if you still have children in school or would like to help a school in your area, then I would suggest that you go here http://www.uscellular.com/about/community-outreach/calling-all-communities.html and check out all the details and start rallying your favorite school to get started today.
With this great campaign U.S. Cellular is giving back to the community it serves and is making a different for many schools ever year. You can also serve your community and make a different by letting your local schools know about this campaign.
Thank You U.S. Cellular for this wonderful program and this is just another reason why I’m a very happy U.S. Cellular Customer!
