$500 Cash and their sponsor’s wish list wish List of goods
Our Grand Prize Winner(s) for the fall C4C grant selection are Annie and Tommy Ingham of Laurel Mt. Elem. School of Austin, TX who created
” The Incredible Mr. E!”. This is a short film based on a teacher and mentor (the “superhero”) who encouraged the kids of Laurel Mt. Elementary to clean up a wooded park area behind the school. Annie and Tommy beautifully document the progression of a littered, overrun environment that becomes a sanctuary for endangered wildlife! Complete with walking paths, ponds and bat/bird houses, and the blessing of the state of Texas, this video shares how kids taking action can make major changes in their world.

Last, but not least!, we have the Audience Favorite submitted by Johnny Bender of Connally High School, near Pflugerville, TX.
