Bing "Our School Needs" Contest

School is an important element in helping our children learn and grow as individuals. In order to assure that they get the best eduction their school should have all the basic essentials needed to help them achieve their academic goals. With all the budget cuts that we are faced with, a lot of schools are now having to cut programs needed to help our children become competitive in today's world. I have seen so many parents come together offering their help by doing fundraisers, rummage sales and luncheons trying to support the local schools in my area. But the sad part is they still are unable to raise enough money to keep some of the programs that our children have grew to love.

If your child's school is faced with budget cuts then Bing wants to hear from teachers and students about what their school needs most. Look around your school and think about how it would benefit from winning $100,000. That's a tremendous amount of money and can no only benefit your child's school but your child as well. Please keep reading so that you can find out how to enter.



Every child deserves a great education. Bing enthusiastically supports the teachers, educators and parents who make it happen with products, programs and donations that help provide a great learning environment. This competition is a great opportunity to let teachers and students show everyone through essays, photographs and videos (optional) what they think their schools needs the most.

Students and teachers can submit entries from now until Friday, October 22nd (Winners will be announced Tuesday, November 9th)

There will be 3 categories: grades k‐6, 7 – 9 and 10 – 12. . The overall grand prize winning school
will receive $100,000 and each category will have a first prize of $50,000.

• Step 1: Teachers and students can create an entry for their school, including a story of what their school needs, photos and a video (optional). Students under 18 will need a parent/guardian or teacher submit the entry on their behalf.
