"Only been here a couple of months, I don't know - may have impacted them but they have impacted me just as much," said teacher Regan Bowler. "Realizing that sometimes we get caught up in our adult problems but these kids have just as much and they need all the support they can get."

Regan gets a $250 dollar VISA gift card to use however she'd like. Mullin Plumbing is also providing a one-year platinum air package valued around $500.
