Hi everyone, I know this isn't bird related, but I am both a birder and a
substitute teacher at Bridgeport High School. We would appreciate your
support in this commencement challenge.

In a few months, President Obama will be speaking at one lucky high
school's, commencement ceremony. Bridgeport, WA is one of the six finalists.
Bridgeport's student body is 100% free/reduced lunch, over 90% first
generation, and yet over 80% of this year's graduating class is attending
college this fall. This is an amazing accomplishment. There are two very
important things you can do to show your support:

1: Visit: www.whitehouse.gov/commencement and rank Bridgeport a "5".
2: Forward this email to your inbox.

Please take the few minutes out of your day to help this dream become a
reality for the small community of Bridgeport. We were told that you
could just vote for Bridgeport OR vote for all 6, but if you give one
school a 5 and all the rest l's, your vote won't count. Hope I haven't
offended anyone by putting this request on Tweeters.
