The Kiwanis Club of Great Omaha (KCOGO.com) awarded their sponsored 2nd grade class at Sacred Heart Elementary School a total of $3,000 at a holiday luncheon on Dec. 12. Students and school representatives attended this event, which was hosted by the Kiwanis Club at the German-American Society.

Members of the Kiwanis Club of Greater Omaha have raised $2,000 through various fundraising events and regular donations to benefit technology in the classroom. The group was awarded an additional $1,000 grant from the Nebraska and Iowan District Kiwanis Foundation that will go towards their Sacred Heart 2nd Grade Reading Project. These gifts will bring resources like tablets to the classroom and fund programs that teach students to use technology to its full potential.

Representatives from the school were presented the grants at the party and students were on hand to enjoy a special lunch, craft projects and special treats from the Kiwanis Club.
