Dolan Auto Group donates $50,000 to Carson City schools

Eagle Valley Middle School’s agriculture program was a recipient of the Dolan Class Project.

Historically, the Dolan Class Project distributes $60,000, but this year that amount increased to more than $100,000 and was further increased to award each participant with a minimum of $5,000. These were the most classrooms ever awarded funds.
The grand prize of $10,000 was awarded to Nicole Witkowski’s fifth-grade band at Fritsch Elementary School, as voted on by the community. The funds awarded to Witkowski’s band will provide enough instruments for all fifth graders to have an equal opportunity to participate in band as well as their participation in the annual Band-o-Rama concert in celebration of Music in our Schools Month.
The class also plans to give back by donating a portion of their funds to Holiday with a Hero, supporting local law enforcement’s efforts to ensure every child has a happy holiday.
Other teachers and schools listed as class project winners earning a $5,000 check in the Carson City School District include the following (alphabetically by school):
