Fall will get a little greener for some area schools.
Cash awards totaling $20,000 were announced by Colony Square Mall, promoter of the Extra Credit School Rewards program.
Since September, local schools have been competing for the funds by collecting mall receipts and participating in mall programs. Their efforts are converted into points, which determines each school’s standing in the competition.
After calculating each school’s percentage of the total points earned, the $20,000 pot was divided accordingly among the participating schools.
Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Pre-School earned a first place reward of $11,517.45. Second place, $1,533.25, was awarded to Dresden Elementary School. Placing third and earning $1,144.80 was Bishop Fenwick.
