Atlanta Schools Offered New Way to Raise Funds While Benefiting Students and Teachers

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 13, 2009 -- Cumming, GA (Aug., 2009)– This fall, Forsyth County, GA Schools have a new opportunity to enhance learning and bring in extra cash. When school computers are switched back on, Qwizzy’s World will be an option for teachers and students to utilize when their schools agree to participate in QW Campaign: Where Studying Funds Education. Through a business partnership with Forsyth County Schools, Qwizzy’s World is introducing this unique campaign during Open Houses and Curriculum Nights as a turnkey way for schools to earn money while helping students learn.

“Having two children in the Forsyth County School System, I am honored to see Qwizzy’s World introduced by our educators and embraced by Dr. Evans, Forsyth County’s Superintendent,” comments Qwizzy’s World founder Julie Wilson. “I believe our campaign will be well received by administrators, teachers and parents. It fully supports education and enhances the educational experience by providing a hands-on learning option, while putting money back into each school with very minimal effort,” she continues.

Administrators and teachers agree that the beauty of the concept of QW is in the learning. Differing from other sites that supply pre-made quizzes, QW was designed to teach students how to study, not just what to study. Using QW is easy – allowing students to use their creative juices. Students who establish an account log on and create their own practice tests using study materials. The quiz crafting is deliberately left to the students, parents, and teachers so that quizzes can be designed to correlate exactly with what is being taught in the classroom.

‘Qwizzy’ randomizes questions so that quizzes are challenging and exciting, and several quiz formats are available. Members can even combine a series of quizzes and create an ‘Ultimate Quiz,’ which is perfect for studying for cumulative tests like mid-terms or finals.

Participation in the QW School Campaign is hassle-free. Each time a student signs up for Qwizzy’s World, his/her respective school will receive a guaranteed dollar amount from each enrollment. And students who sign up via the school campaign receive a 20% cost savings on a one-year membership. Memberships are good for a year. Teachers in participating schools receive a lifetime membership to Qwizzy’s World for free, as well as a one-year membership for their classrooms.

Wilson is thrilled about the support the QW School Campaign has received from the Forsyth County Superintendent. “I like the ‘critical thinking’ aspect of Qwizzy’s World and am pleased that the site will be available for all of our schools and students to utilize this fall in Forsyth County,” explains L.C. Evans, Ed.D., Superintendent, Forsyth County Schools.

In addition to Forsyth County, Qwizzy’s World is being evaluated by other counties in Georgia. In Texas, public and private schools, as well as the first charter school, will have access to the QW School Campaign.
