Carpenters Middle School 1 of 3 Left Vying for Samsung $210K

by KPA Email

From Blount Today:

Carpenters Middle School is in the running for $210,000 in prizes from Samsung. Terri Bradshaw said Friday she was notified Monday that the school’s essay in the Four Seasons of Hope contest had placed in the top three finish.

“They have selected the top three schools, and we are going to be going to New York City on March 30 where they will announce the grand prize winner on March 31,” she said.

Bradshaw found out Monday but contest rules said contestants could not release information until the company announced it on their website. The grand prize winner gets $210,000 in merchandise, and the other two finalists get $50,000 in merchandise each.

“I can’t believe it. I’m just speechless. I was stunned,” Bradshaw said. “I didn’t think for a minute - you hope - but I didn’t think we would get to the top three.”

Why does one of the wealthiest counties in TN have to compete with the whole nation to get the resources we need to have the "great" schools our leaders claim we already have?
