Congratulations Dolan's $50,000 Class Project 2011 Winners!

2011-10-31

For the past two months we were fortunate to hold a contest that will benefit northern Nevada students not only this school year but for years to come. Because of the amazing community support and dedicated teachers throughout northern Nevada, the Dolan Class Project was a success from the start. More than 100 class projects were submitted and in a period of two months, more than 27,000 votes were cast. Among the top 20 winners, there are 5 high schools, 2 middle schools and 13 elementary schools.

We want to thank every teacher who submitted a class project, as well as every student, parent, friend and community member who voted. It has been a joy to read the proposals, watch the videos submitted by teachers and get to know the educational community through Facebook.
