Rachel & the TreeSchoolers NEEDS YOUR HELP....

We have a wonderful show that needs your help...

Currently Television is only 

delivering the bare minimum!!

Did you know that:

(1) Since 1996, TV broadcasters have been required to air at least three hours of children’s educational programming per week. 

(2) ONLY 1 of every 4 educational shows found to be minimally educational.

(3) Only 1 in every 8 educational shows was considered highly educational.

 IN FACT:

A study conducted found that only one of every eight E/I shows (13%) to be “highly educational.” In contrast, almost twice as many, nearly one of every four (23%) were classified in the lowest category of “minimally educational.” This is the first study of its kind in eight years, and it revealed a substantial decline in the percentage of highly educational programming over that time.

$35,000 of that in that past (2) TWO days!!

They currently have a backer who will kick in the LAST $10,000

Rachel went to Kickstarter

and here is why:

·  Rachel took the pilot episode to TV executives

·  Multiple studios turned it down because it was “too educational”

·  As a mom, Rachel completely disagreed and knew other parents would too

·  Rachel took the show directly to families through Kickstarter

·  Families funded 5 new episodes in less than 30 days

·  Three new episodes are funding now

With Kickstarter, families:

·  decide which shows get made

·  get involved in filming:  270+ children filmed so far

·  interact with Rachel (Skype calls, postcards, pizza parties, concerts)
