The first-place winner, Heritage Elementary, received $3,000, while second-place Blanton Elementary was awarded $2,000. Third- through fifth-place winners Flower Mound Elementary, McAuliffe Elementary and Liberty Elementary each received $1,000. And fifth through 10^th place, which included Highland Village Elementary, Prairie Trail Elementary, Wellington Elementary, Valley Ridge Elementary and Vickery Elementary respectively, each earned $500.

“We couldn’t be more pleased at the community’s support for ‘It’s Elementary!’” said Kelly Smith, consumer marketing manager for The Shops at Highland Village. “With the help of our customers, this effort to lend support to our children’s schools became a success."
