VIDEO: Deanna & Justin Surprise Winning Teacher With $995 Check

Author Diana Beasley

At Mix 99.5 WJBR, we love to salute local heroes in the community, and this time it was all about the teachers.

Earlier this week, Deanna & Justin from the morning show were able to pull off a huge surprise at Kathleen H. Wilbur Elementary School in Bear.

Cash for my classWe know teachers in the Delaware area, and across the country, are asked to pay for their own school supplies from time to time. With all that teachers already do, we wanted to help out.  Our friends and partners at Window Nation here in Wilmington agreed.  Together we decided to host a contest called Cash for My Class.

As we expected, we received hundreds of entries from teachers all across the first state, all vying for a chance to win $995 to put towards supplies and items they desired for their classroom.

Deanna & Justin went out earlier this week to surprise our winning teacher and her reaction and excitement were priceless.  Victoria Haynes is a 5th grade teacher at Wilbur Elementary school and she was mid-instruction when her surprise arrived.

The holidays are quickly approaching.  Spooky season is almost upon us and we are looking for Family Fun in Wilmington to enjoy this fall.

What’s better than putting on your fall outfits of puffy vests and leggings, those boots you’ve been waiting all summer to wear, grabbing a pumpkin spice latte and heading out the door for some family fun?  It’s truly the beginning of the best time of each year.

It’s hard to find something to do that will satisfy all members of the family.  These events happening in the Wilmington area, and areas nearby, have something to make all members of the family enjoy the day.

Looking for ideas for a fall date day?  We’ve got those here for you too!  Looking for something to do with the kids?  We’ve got you covered.

A favorite for my family, and I know for most families, is Linvilla Orchards.  Two of our favorite things to do are the corn maze and the apple slingshot.  And of course, we can’t leave without a pumpkin or five.
