On May 16, the Dallas Cowboys visited McKamy Elementary to surprise Coach Michael Owen with a big check. The P.E. teacher had applied for a $2500 grant from the Dallas Cowboys’ Funds for Fitness program to put toward a sports programs for elementary students. Two Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders and representatives from the Cowboys and the Texas Lottery arrived at McKamy in their Cowboys star-emblazoned bus to surprise Coach Owen with the news that he had been awarded the grant for $2500. Coach Owen plans to use the funds to start a program next year where he can introduce sports such as soccer, football, and volleyball to his students throughout the year.
