Update: Northside Elementary School is doing awesome in the 2013 Give with Target campaign. Please consider voting for them.
It’s a double-post kind of day. I’m from a super small town in Minnesota called Benson. I grew up there. I’m still very close friends with most of my high school and even elementary school friends. Mr. Ebnet, a 2nd grade teacher, was THE teacher to get when I was in elementary school. This video is amazing and shows how Mr. Ebnet MADE. THINGS. HAPPEN.
I can’t begin to tell you the power of small towns. Small town people support each other. I’m not at all surprised that Mr. Ebnet, from a town of 3,000 some people, was able to get almost that many votes to receive gift cards to Target for school supplies and more. Small towns create a special bond that is never broken. There’s something amazing about growing up in a small town. Check out the video for some cute little faces and an inspirational story. And if you want to support Benson this year, “like” the page on Facebook.
SOOOOOOOO Cute! Go Benson.
Isn’t it?! Love it! I thought you’d be someone who could appreciate this little thing. :)
I Love This Blog!!!! XOXOXOXO
such a cute video! Great story.
So great, right?
You are awesome! Keep inspiring me!
You are too sweet! It’s all Benson!
Great post! So proud of Benson and Mr. Ebnet!
I was blown away. The video is just so sweet.
So cool Jess!!
So proud of our little hometown. My hubby, who is from Brooklyn Park, has finally realized that the world actually does revolve around Benson. Once you say you are from there, someone knows someone from there or has been there. Funny thing is I usually know who they are talking about :)
Thank you for suppoting us, and your kind words…it is appreciated!
