            [October 25, 2013]      Send a link to a friend MIDDLETOWN -- After the presentation of the 
			check for $20,000, teachers took turns giving out certificates to 
			their students.  Awards included the most improved in class and 
			that grade's' students of the month for September and October. Afterward, the second special 
			guest arrived to help hand out more awards. The kids all got a 
			real laugh out of the Willie Robertson impersonator as he strolled 
			across the gymnasium in typical "Duck Dynasty" garb.
