As the lazy days of summer begin to fade into memory, students, parents, teachers, and communities everywhere are preparing for the first days of a new school year.  It is an exciting time of year and a great opportunity to begin anew.

Now is the perfect time to be inspired by Dave Eggers’ TED Prize wish and become actively engaged in your local school. The great collection of stories on the Once Upon a School site currently will seed ideas for your own project.  A series of guidelines will help you in the process of implementation.  And your skills, talents, and enthusiasm will make the project a success.

People who implement a project and submit their story to the Once Upon a School by October 31, 2008 have an opportunity to win a complimentary pass to TED2009 in Long Beach, CA.  Read more about the challenge here.
