For this year’s $100,000 Dolan Class Project, 15 classrooms received $5,000 each based on community votes.

Additionally, one school was selected to receive $25,000.

Sarah Winnemucca Elementary School accepted their check at an all-school assembly on Wednesday.

The funds will be used to upgrade the school’s playground and soccer area.

This simple project transformed into a huge community partnership that strives to support schools and local organizations.

For this year’s Dolan Class Project, classes and schools were invited to submit a short video providing an overview of a student-centered community project, as well as an explanation of how the funds will be used to improve their classroom, school or student's learning experience.
