      <![CDATA[<p>I just received a big packet of thank you notes from the students of Gunston Middle School in Arlington, Virginia.  Through <a target="_blank" href="http://www.DonorsChoose.org">DonorsChoose.org</a>, I helped them purchase a number of 24 Challenge card decks.  Wow!  My gift was really small, but these thank you's were HUGE!  Kudos to DonorsChoose for putting together such an excellent program.</p>

<p>I chose to support the 24 Challenge purchases because I had seen the effect 24 had on my daughter, who competed in a county-wide "24 Challenge" math competition in the fifth grade, and walked away with a bronze medal.  I truly think that she did not realize she was gifted in math until that experience.   </p>

<p>Thank you DonorsChoose.org and thank you "24 Challenge."</p>
