Morgan Elementary wins Spruce Up Your School Sweepstakes.

TurfMutt is barking for joy over the news that Ms. Davidson’s class at Morgan Elementary in Paducah, Ky.,  won the grand prize on behalf of her whole school. The $5,000 grant will be used to introduce more green space around the school grounds and play area. Additionally, all of the students at Morgan Elementary will receive a TurfMutt backpack stuffed with school supplies.

Ms. Davidson and the students at Morgan Elementary will receive the grand prize check and backpacks on on Friday. There’s even a surprise visit in store from TurfMutt (a.k.a. Lucky the Rescue Dog).

In addition to the grand prize winner there are two runners-up: Ms. Becky Adams from Hearn Academy in Phoenix, Ariz., and Mr. Robert Voss from Yorktown Elementary in Yorktown, Ind. Each of these teachers’ students will receive TurfMutt-themed “Green Packs” full of eco-friendly school supplies, including a canvas backpack, lunch bag, colored pencils and a water bottle.

From all of us at TurfMutt, congratulations to the winning schools, and thanks to everyone who participated!
