Prize StampedeThe entire Board of Directors, some of the band members, the mascot and even a camera man from local news media, loaded onto a school bus to reward teachers for all their efforts for innovative teaching. The band alerted each campus as we arrived that something very special was about to happen. With dozens of balloons, giant checks and plenty of cheering, the foundation, with the help of the entire community, was able to make our school district just a little better.
