TWIN LAKES ELEMENTARY TEACHER WINS UNITED WAY
FUND-RAISING PRIZE
Her efforts led the school to surpass its
fund-raising goal by 631 percent
December 15, 2003
Twin Lakes Elementary School teacher Annette Napoles has won
two first-class tickets on United Airlines to the
destination of her choice in a United Way contest for
schools that met their fund-raising goals.
Napoles, who is the school's United Way Student Ambassador
for the 2003-2004 school year, established a number of
activities. The most popular was the "Pie in the Face"
contest, which resulted in the school surpassing its $662
goal by 631 percent, collecting $4,181.54 instead.
"When our teachers show the level of dedication and
enthusiasm that Ms. Napoles did to motivate her school to
raise funds for the United Way," said Superintendent of
Schools Merrett R. Stierheim, "it has a ripple effect that
reaches far into our community. Ms. Napoles, Principal
Maria de Leon and all the staff and students at Twin Lakes
are to be commended for their spirit of goodwill."
Because the school met its goal, Napoles' name was included
in the United Way raffle. She intends to use her tickets for
her honeymoon next year.
