(0:02) Levo is so pleased to award one of our 2025 Adopt-a-Classroom awards to Mrs. Amy Lundquist (0:09) from Lennox. And here to talk about how great Amy is, is Chelsea who nominated her. Chelsea, (0:16) tell us a little bit about why you nominated Mrs. Lundquist.

Mrs. Lundquist has made a big (0:21) impact on Aria and her classmates. One of the things that we really enjoy is when we make (0:28) our reading goals at the end of the month, we get to have lunch with Mrs. Lundquist in the (0:33) classroom. And I know that makes Aria want to read a little extra, doesn't it, Aria? Yeah.

(0:40) Mrs. Lundquist, what are you going to use the money for? Are you going to buy lunch? (0:45) I'm so honored. This is such a cool thing, isn't it, boys and girls? (0:49) Could we come up with some amazing things to buy for our classroom? Like more morning tub stuff. (0:55) We've talked about, right, more magnetic connecting things and Legos, (1:01) seat sacks for our chairs.

We could put our books in. We could come up with so many amazing (1:06) things to help our classroom. Even snacks. Sometimes we're out of snacks, aren't we? (1:11) Yes. And sometimes we don't have snacks for the classroom. So even just the smallest of things. (1:15) Stickers.

So you have $500 to do with what you want. I am so thankful.

Congratulations. (1:21) So much. I want to thank you for teaching our kids.

Thank you.
