Marjory Stoneman Douglas Todd Fitz-Gerald received $1,000 for Extra Yard for Teachers Big Day, a nationwide celebration recognizing teachers.

It was a great surprise today to be recognized by the OBC,” Fitz-Gerald said. ” I am humbled and honored to have received such a great gift. All the years of teaching and coaching, and to be recognized by such a great organization is truly humbling.”
