In these harsh economic times, when we a producing some of the lowest numbers of income that any of us have ever lived through there are still those people who cannot even afford the most simple school utensils. Children all over the metroplex and the nation are affected as the economy limits their educational potential.

Please help provide an needy child with brand new school materials too begin the 2010 academic year. Your partnership with MAS can offer these children hope for a brighter tomorrow.

Now in its 10th year, our annual Back to School Program is an exciting event for Dallas-area children. Through a community drive, we provide new backpacks filled with school supplies and new school uniforms children who live in the areas of Dallas, Plano, Irving, Richardson, and Arlington. Last year we were able to bring joy to 600 children, and our goal this year is to provide backpacks to 1000.

There are two ways to sponsor a child and provide a new backpack filled with school supplies:

A. Your donation of $65 will permit us to purchase a new backpack and stuff it with the necessary supplies. Your cash donation is tax-deductible.
B. If you'd rather do the shopping yourself, you can purchase a plain backpack (no characters), and fill it with the attached list of supplies.

All donations and backpacks should be received before Wednesday, August 11, 2010 at

Tutor experimentado en ensayos para aplicar la universidad

Esta es la cuñada de Julie Richie, gracias Julie!

Hi everyone,

I have started a new business as a college essay coach. I want to help high school seniors write the best possible essay they can to get into the college of their choice. If you know someone who has kids in high school, would you mind passing my information along?

I had the idea after going through the process with my two children and have just now had the time to start it up. I spoke with the college counselors and teachers at Westminster and with Joni Towles of TowlesEducational Consulting before pursuing the idea. They agree it is a good idea for students who may not take advantage of all their school may have to offer or may need additional help.

Lots more info on my site at www.janschroder.com/collegeessay
And your kids can find me on Facebook at College Essay Coach.

Thanks so much!
