Two East Dallas schools are competing for prizes of $2,000 or $10,000 from Big Lots. The retailer selected 107 schools to compete for a grand prize of $10,000 and 45 first prizes of $2,000.
Reinhardt Elementary, which has been without a playground since vandals burned theirs down two years ago, is one of the schools that submitted a video to compete for the prizes.
Alex W. Spence middle school’s video asks for money to purchase computers and cameras.
People can vote for their favorite videos up to three times a day via Facebook or by creating an account with Big Lots.
