Second graders in Melinda LaSala's class at Raymore Elementary are excited to learn that a grant will allow each of them a take-home copy of the book "Inch and Miles: The Journey to Success."
The class has been studying the book by famed coach John Wooden and has incorporated its lessons into their classroom.
The grant was part of the Foundation Prize Patrol awards on March 1. The Foundation awarded nearly $9,992 in grant awards across the District!
The grant awards will be used for a variety of items including books, cooking supplies, recess equipment, and toys for fine motor skills.
Superintendent Dr. Mike Slagle, Foundation Executive Director Jodie Huston, Foundation Board President Allison, Bruflat, and Foundation Secretary/Treasurer Pam Steele made the surprise presentations, along with Foundation Board Members Cathy Wansing, Kristi Schumacher, and Jamie Bogner.
