Congratulations to our 2009 Lots2Give Video Contest Winners!

Selected schools were asked to submit a short video and brief essay explaining why their school was in need of financial support. Then we turned to the public to vote for their favorite video. Those votes determined the 26 winners, which included one $10,000 grand prize, three $5,000 first place prizes and twenty-two $2,500 second place prizes.

Special thanks to all Lots2Give participants and the thousands of people who voted!

Motivation to Achieve

John E. Ewing Middle School

Gaffney, SC

Many of our students don't have the expectation of academic success. To motivate students to attend school, do homework, behave well, and achieve, we will offer "Eagle Bucks," which may be earned and used to purchase items in an auction. Big Lots money would help purchase motivational auction items.
