Today, North Shore Bank announced the winners of our “Make Change Happen” video contest, in support of school initiatives in our communities. After being voted on by the public and reviewed by a panel of judges, four projects will each win $1,923 in funding:
- North Region: Glenbrook Elementary, Pulaski – “The Wild Card Team.” Bringing engagement ideas to the classroom.
- Central Region: Bayside Middle School – “Threads and Things.” A student-created and -run business venture that supports charities.
- Central MPS Region: Ronald Reagan High School, Milwaukee – “Reagan Stage and Production Crew.” Programs and production.
- South Region: McKinley Elementary School, Kenosha – “5th Grade Camping Field Trip.”
Entrants had to be school, classroom, academic, arts, athletics, technology, and club initiatives that have a positive impact on public or private school students from 4K to 12th grade. To enter, students or teachers had to submit a video no longer than two minutes, explaining why their project deserved $1,923 to benefit children and how the funds would be spent. Video entries were considered for their creativity, enthusiasm, and passion in petitioning for the donated funds, as well as the need and degree of merit the initiative possessed for supporting local students. Many thanks to everyone at North Shore Bank who voted in the contest!
