On Saturday, May 19 at 3 p.m., Vista Ridge Mall will host a My School’s Cool rally to announce the top three schools that have earned the most total points during the 2011-12 program. My School’s Cool is a special community program that awards a total of $20,000 in cash prizes to participating schools over the course of a school year.
Ten schools in the Lewisville and Coppell school districts have participated in My School’s Cool at the Lewisville shopping center, earning points based on Vista Ridge Mall receipts turned in on behalf of their schools and through a variety of extra-credit opportunities. Three schools, New Tech High@Coppell, Denton Creek Elementary and McAuliffe Elementary, were mid-year winners, sharing in $5,000 in cash prizes. The three schools with the most total points during the 2011-12 school year will share the remaining $15,000.
