Thank you, Mr. Koukos

One of our fabulous teachers went out and earned a donation for our school from a local business owner.  Mrs. Vickie Sholtz has been on board with the Renaissance Reading Program since its inception at Gilbert.  She goes above and beyond to ensure that we are still able to provide tangible incentives for our students as rewards for reading.  With this in mind, she went to a local business owner that she and her husband Mike know quite well, and a conversation ensued about the reading programs we have in place at Gilbert.  The owner of Twins Pizza, Kryiakos Koukos was eager to make a contribution to support our students as they become better readers.  Below you see a photo of Mr. Koukos and Vickie Sholtz as she accepts his $100.00 donation which will be used to purchase a variety of incentives.

 Thank you, Mr. Koukos & Twins Pizza!
