As I learned in the aftermath of our fundraiser, it’s actually not-that-easy to give private money directly to a public school. But we spent some time doing homework, and with some charitable assistance from the creative minds at The Fund for Public Schools, the $1.4 million that we raised for Mott Hall Bridges Academy has been set up in the form of a structured grant. Everything is complete, and Ms. Lopez is now able to access and utilize the money for the class trips, summer programs, and scholarships that she envisioned.

And since we’re on the subject, the first MHBA trip toHarvard University happened yesterday! I’ll be sharing photos from the trip throughout the day, but we’ll begin with the one picture where I managed to get everybody in a single frame.
