Celebrities and DonorsChoose.org unleashed $14 million in flash funding to create the #BestSchoolDay for teachers all over the country seeking community donations to fund classroom projects and supply needs.
Today, teachers are taking to social media to express gratitude for the unprecedented move.
Teachers are using Twitter to give thanks for the funding that has made things like new Kindles, Robotics equipment, books and more available to their students.
#BestSchoolDay just made this teacher's day. Thank you. I know teachers at my school that were funded and work sooo hard for their kiddos.
