As with the corporate world, teachers get extra days off that we can take for personal time. I really try to minimize these days unless it is something important. I feel that it is a good thing for me to be there versus leaving the kids with a sub. However certain things come up where you need to take the time off. This weekend is one of those times. This weekend I will ride 154 miles for MS research in Texas. I usually participate in a ride from Houston to Austin, but this year my wife and I are taking our bicycles to Dallas this year for a tour of North Texas and a sore butt. I share this with the kids because there are so many people that are impacted by this disease. So, I will ride this weekend to help raise money. This has given me an idea. Why not raise money for Education by holding rides for people that are preparing for this ride or others? There are a lot of charities including the Ronald McDonald house that raise money this way, and really it would be a good idea to try and raise some money for education this way. I think as we approach the end of the school year and the beginning financial woes of the school system that we have to make money any way that we can. Post your ideas in the comment section. How could we help alleviate this financial crunch if the Texas Legislature will not?
Until next Tuesday, have a great weekend and wish me luck.
