Topeka Public Schools will benefit from a $5,000 donation from the Kansas ONEOK (One-Oak) Foundation. Pamela Johnson-Betts, the executive director of the Topeka Public Schools Foundation, says the money be used in the classroom for special needs students.
Johnson-Betts gives credit to Topeka High junior Jack Hishmeh (HISH-muh) for having the vision to improve the school's special needs classroom.
Hishmeh (HISH-muh) brought the idea to the TPS Foundation, which then took it to the Kansas ONEOK Foundation.
