GRAND ISLAND, Neb. — The newest Stretch Across Nebraska winner comes from Central Nebraska.

Amy Penny of Grand Island submitted her photo, titled Let’s Walk!, of her two kids going on a walk with their new puppy, a cockapoo named Dusty. She included the caption, “I’m not sure who is leading, but when you all get to enjoy the fresh air, does it really matter?”

By winning the contest, Penny was able to select a school to receive a $500 donation. As a teacher at Seedling Mile Elementary in Grand Island, she had an easy choice.

“We’re a small school, so we appreciate all the funds that we get,” Penny said.
