Bing is awarding a quarter-million dollars in prize money divided among four schools in need, and your vote can make all the difference.
The entry with the most votes wins $100k, and 3 others will each win $50k.
Bing is giving away up to $900,000 to schools in need through DonorsChoose.org, a non-profit website where public school teachers can post classroom projects that need funding.

The voting phase starts Friday, October 29 and runs through Sunday, November 7. America will be asked to vote on the 15 Our School Needs finalists as determined by the panel of judges. The winners will be announced Tuesday, November 9. (Please note, these dates are slightly altered from the dates you received in the original outreach letter from Mom Central.)

I have an 11 year old who is in middle school. I think his school needs alot of help. Recently the Oprah show went to his school. She has committed to helping them and other schools. Our kids are our future.

The videos from these schools are great. They are all winners in my book. I cannot pick a winner, but there are a couple favorites. I like the Bringing Back the music to New Orleans. I love music. And really appreciate having had this in my schools. The Our School needs a library is another favorite. I did not like reading growing up but now I understand the importance of it. My parents both did not graduate, and my dad could not read. So to me having books, and being able to read them is very important. Everyone should have a library to let their minds explore out of their enviroment, to let them imagine.
