Help Washington Intermediate Earn Money!

We all search the internet when looking for information, doing research or looking for directions. What if Washington Intermediate earned a penny every time you searched the Internet? Well, now we can! GoodSearch.com is a new search engine that donates half its revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. You use it just as you would any search engine, and it's powered by Yahoo, so you get great results.

Just go to the Goodsearch site and be sure to enter "Washington Intermediate School" in the box below the statement, "Who do Goodsearch for?" You can also track how much we have raised each month by clicking on the "Amount Raised" button on the page under our school name. The money will be tracked by our Student Advisory and Parent Advisory groups and used for projects or needs recognized by these two groups. Examples of ideas generated by both groups last year include: new basketball hoops/poles, landscaping in the front of the building, repainting the lockers, adding more books to the classrooms and/or media center, more laptops, and more!

The site begins tracking our searches starting August 1st, 2007. Checks are sent out in December if the charity has earned $20 by September 30th of that year. Just 500 of us searching four times a day will raise about $7300 in a year without anyone spending a dime! And, be sure to spread the word!

(Please note that the site does state: "Please use this site honestly. Fraudulent searches will result in a charity being de-listed.")
