We are friends of Big Mike are fundraising to keep him teaching in the US! There are a few hoops for Mike to jump through in order to apply for an Immigrant VISA and eventually a GREEN CARD, so he never has to leave the USA.
Please help Mike obtain his permanent residency status!!!
The money will be used for filing fees and lawyer fees. By law, Mike cannot fund this by himself. The school district and Mike are in need of assistance to cover all the legal and processing fees.
We need the funds ASAP to get the paperwork going, so he can start the immigration process....Mikey MUST start the application before this Spring!!!
This means so much to friends of Big Mike, students -past and present, parent's of students, and Big Mike himself. Help keep a positive teacher around!
Please help keep a great teacher around. An estimated 50% of teachers will either retire or leave the profession all together each year. Please help keep a teacher around who loves teaching science, and is great at it. He was voted Teacher of the Year 2015-2016, this is a second win for Mike. His science scores have risen every year for 7 straight years.
Please stay tuned for some fundraising events in the local area if you live in the Western Slope Colorado area!!! Fun, friends, music, food, community, sharing to come...If you think you have ideas that can help, please email us. [email redacted]
THANK YOU!!!

Mike is a great teacher, the children love him. And he loves teaching and living in the US.
"Mike is the best teaching partner I've ever had. (And I began teaching in the 80"s.) It's inspiring to see the way he relates to the kids at our middle school! Every year I learn from Mike as well. He makes learning fun for everyone he's around, and it would be a great disservice to the education community to lose a man like him! Please help Mike stay in the United States, forever." ~Laura Plano
"I have worked with Mike for a couple of years. He is the most amazing teacher I have ever met. He has the best relationship with kids I have ever seen. His classes are engaging, extremely educational, and fun! Mike is an amazing person and I am honored to work with him. He inspires me on all levels to become a better person and teacher daily. The students and Riverside as a whole cannot afford to lose someone so amazing." ~ Cassandra Wilson
"I worked as a speech therapist in Mike’s class. Mike is such a loved teacher with a huge and happy personality. Mike knows the subject area really well and spends late nights working at school making his lesson, fun, engaging and educational. I loved going into his classroom to see this mad scientist at work. I’m not sure about Mike’s taste in music, but that aside the school benefits highly from having him in their class. He’s a huge part of the school’s positive climate and their academic excellence." ~ Candice Baumert
"Mike is a great guy and such an asset to our 5th grade team. The students adore him and enjoy learning so much about science from him. He is well-loved and remembered for years--past students return often to visit him. We would hate to lose him at Riverside."
~ Amy VanDevender
"Mike is a wonderful teacher and friend. Students love and respect his easy going, caring ways. He was Teacher of the Year last year and routinely scores above the state average in Science on state tests. He has been a good friend to me since being here - he is kindhearted, generous, and a good listener. He's been teaching weekly meditation skills to many District staff members for about 3 years. Many people from Aspen to Parachute would miss Mike if he had to leave. Please go to his gofundme page and help him out. Thanks!" ~Michele Howard
