Mrs. Weinman From: Amanda Lee [mailto:amandaweilee@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, March 27, 2017 10:29 AM To: Naomi Weinman Subject: Thank America's teachers voting contest Hi Ms. Weinman, One of the teachers at John Bowne has entered this voting contest to earn $2,500 for the school (or more specifically, the math department) Do you think that we could send out an email to ask the TIME students for their support and to vote for my teacher? This is the website that they need to go, then they click VOTE, and then search for Singh in the search bar. The name Manjot Singh from John Bowne should pop up. They input their email but it's important that they log into their emails to CONFIRM the vote, otherwise the vote won't count. https://www.farmers.com/thank-americas-teachers/vote-for-a-teacher/ Thank you, Amanda Lee
