I'm a little late in posting this as we were also late in planning it, but we are at it again raising money for sick kids by playing games for 24 hours. If you are just hanging out at home you can watch here and donate to a great cause: https://t.co/RO6iqrx2AA

@noraflanagan I’m wondering how many teachers take that 11th day. I bet it’s lower than 5%. And most of those would be extenuating circumstances. At least the 11th would be beyond the contract.

Tomorrow is gameday for @ExtraLife4Kids! I will be starting at 9am and playing until 9am on Sunday! If you are able to, you can donate or tune in here: https://t.co/RO6iqrwuL2
