Greenbelt Elementary Receives $10,000 Thanks to Micro Center

During the annual Score with Intel Core competition, stores compete to win a donation to a local school. This year, one of the winning stores, Micro Center #85 in Rockville, chose Greenbelt Elementary. Manager of the store, lifelong Greenbelter Marc Siegel, was excited to choose his local elementary school. The donation amount is $10,000, in the form of a shopping spree at this store. Teachers were able to choose any items needed for their classrooms.
