Randall and Sherry Reed, along with Chuck Kramer, GM/Managing Partner of Planet Ford in Humble,awarded a brand new 2013 Ford Escape to Ms. Grigsby.
In addition, each teacher of the year nominee received a $1,000 gift certificate to use for their down payment on a new Ford car, truck or SUV. In addition, each nominee was offered a free maintenance package for free from Ford. Teachers do so much for our kids. This is one small way we can express our gratitude.
All of our dealerships, from Oklahoma City to Dallas and Garland to Houston, Spring and Humble, Texas, believe in partnering with schools in our communities to help support both our kids and our teachers.
