FoolProof Awards a Maryland Teacher Our Second Trip to the Caribbean


If you are a FoolProof Teacher in 2010, you'll automatically be entered for the 2010 contest!

THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS. (January 14, 2010) – On Jaunary 14th, FoolProof announced the winner of our second all-expense paid trip to the Caribbean for a high school teacher who has used the FoolProof for High Schools program in the classroom.

The teacher won two round-trip tickets to the British Virgin Islands, an Oceanside house for five nights, the use of a car, a full day on the FoolProof boat, and $500 in spending money.

The lucky winner is Ken Hutchinson, a FoolProof Teacher at Havre de Grace High School in Havre de Grace, Maryland.

"If Ken had been wearing lipstick, it would be smeared to behind his ears from smiling!" said Havre de Grace's principal, after entering the winner's classroom with representatives of the school's sponsoring credit union. They walked in with a huge picture montage of the British Virgin Islands and Mr. Hutchinson's official award letter. "I don't believe it! Out of all the teachers in the nation using FoolProof, I won?"

"FoolProof knows high school educators are feeling pressure to teach more and better financial literacy skills to their students," Will deHoo, FoolProof's CEO said "Our contests are a great way to engage teachers with FoolProof and hopefully help both the teachers and the students."

And if you use FoolProof in 2010, you're automatically entered in our next contest! So, please explore this site and think about giving FoolProof for High Schools a trial run.
