Dream Weaver Ball Benefits Children
April 23, 2008: Ralston, Nebraska. The Dream Weaver Ball raised over $27,000.00 to benefit the expansion of Early Childhood Education in the Ralston Public Schools. The Ralston Schools Foundation held the formal fundraiser at the beautiful and historic Happy Hollow Country Club, 1701 South 105th Street, Omaha, Nebraska. It was also used as an opportunity to honor three educators for the "Heart of Learning" Awards.

Tim Mosser - Ralston High School-Family Life
Elementary Teacher or Administrator (Grades PreK-6)
Betty Jo Jenson - Mockingbird Elementary-3rd Grade
Non-Teaching Support Staff (All levels)
Gloria Moore - Ralston Middle School-Secretary
This event was held as the Ralston Public Schools take on the mission of:
- Providing universal access to Early Childhood Education
- Expanding Early Childhood opportunities to children now on waiting lists
- Providing before and after care for pre-school children who need it
- Affordable childcare and preschool to students who do not qualify for other programs
The event included a spirited live auction that included the opportunity to bid a cash donation to fund equipment for the Early Childhood program.
Through the efforts of the event and additional fundraising the Ralston Public Schools will be expanding the program in the fall to include more children and more sections of pre-school.
