Ms. Bolter

My sister teaches at a school for kids with disabilities and special needs down in San Diego.
She has put together a proposal to obtain a grant from Pepsi, awarded to good ideas.
In short, she has pioneered a program that teaches kids life skills. Working with the community, she gets part time jobs for her students, opens checking accounts and teaches them how to budget expenses, teaches them how to cook, as well as other general tasks to transition them from school to their community, working math and writing lessons into these activities.
In the month of May, I watched her idea's ranking jump from 273rd to as high as 43rd.
Please, please, please vote for this idea here:

Ms. Bolter wanted to be a teacher since she was in grade school. These kids are so very lucky that she did. They love her and the program so much and it's awesome hearing stories about her students. It's a great cause and voting is very simple, all you need is an e-mail address (but nothing will be sent to this address and it is not shared) or you can log in with a facebook account.
