Hey, I am Paige and I am a national qualifier for Educators Rising—a club that competes and supports students who want to become future educators. In my competition, it was myself and my friend Abbey Holly; we competed in writing a book for K-3. To prepare for our competition we wrote and illustrated a children’s book, that was submitted for judgement as well as later performed to two judges. We qualified to attend and compete at the national conference, but we did not budget for the funds of this trip to be able to go, and it is the first time we all have been presented with an opportunity like this. Funds raised will go towards registration ($450/person), flights ($250/person), and hotel rooms ($150/room). Yes, this is a lot but we are grateful for everything we get. Please, even just $5 helps, thank you in advance for your support!
