Hyer fourth-graders recently presented a $7,000 check to MIS principal Laurie Hitzelberger.

Traditionally, the fourth-grade class at Hyer Elementary School has presented a gift to the school before leaving for McCulloch Intermediate School the following year.

But this spring, after a series of generous fundraising events at Hyer, the fourth-graders decided to change things up. Instead, they decided to “pay it forward” by donating a check for $7,000 to MIS.

The funds will go toward purchasing new iPads and other technology for fifth-grade classrooms at MIS, meaning those same fourth graders might be able to share in the benefits this fall.
