The One Classroom at a Time program is now in its third season! Thanks to our sponsor, MOR Furniture For Less, the One Classroom at a Time program is able to help public school teachers of Kern County. Effective March 3, 2009, we will now be giving away $1,000 each month to classes in Eyewitness News' viewing area. The program is open to public school Pre-K programs through 12th grade in Kern County. Teachers, if your class is in need of money that would help enrich your students' learning experience, apply for this grant!
