BIG NEWS!!!
 Hey folks, have you seen 
directly or indirectly the benefits of Mr. Hayes' YouTube Science? I am 
very excited to announce a few great things that are happening. The 
first I want to share is I have written a proposal to  donorschoose.org
 for a grant to add professional audio equipment to enhance the quality 
of all future videos. The lessons I am providing are helping parents, 
teachers and fellow educators not just at Highland Park but around the 
globe. 
 
 YOU CAN HELP, and during the next SEVEN DAYS, the board
 of directors at donorschoose.org have indicated they will match DOLLAR 
FOR DOLLAR any donations that are submitted toward my project. I would 
sincerely appreciate any donations toward this goal. I have spent 
hundreds of dollars personally on equipment and software to provide the 
resources needed for recording and editing. Your assistance in helping 
fund upgraded professional equipment would make huge impacts for future 
videos.
 
 It's SIMPLE, just go to the following link:
 http://www.donorschoose.org/we-teach/1879219.19859336
 
 Enter the code INSPIRE and your donation will be matched dollar for dollar up until July 23rd (My wedding anniversary)
 
 Donors will receive back a personal thank you from me and my students this Fall. 
 
 Additional news I would like to share is first year teachers in Texas 
along with their mentor teachers will have access to 17 of my video 
lessons as well as printable lesson plans to accompany the videos. They 
will be hosted on the Texas A&M University PACT 
(Professional-academic Coaching Teams) website. Any teacher using the 
PACT website will have immediate access.
 
 I am also in the works
 to receive assistance to purchase upgraded professional video equipment
 from Canon and other charitable organizations.
 
 Please be a 
part and help in funding my project for  professional audio equipment at
 the above link. Feel free to share this opportunity with friends and 
family on Facebook and through other forms of social media.
 
 I 
would be happy to answer any comments or posts you may make. If you are a
 STUDENT, PARENT or TEACHER, please make a comment on this post to share
 the benefits you may have received through Mr. Hayes' YouTube Science.
 
 YOU can help make it happen!!!
 Your generosity will directly impact the education of a child's life.
 
 Thanks for your consideration,
 
 Mike Hayes
