District staff and students pledged more than $68,000. Corporate gifts included $50,000 from Devon Energy Corp.

"We’re proud that 43 creative teaching projects, including three at Capitol Hill Elementary, are under way this school year thanks to the foundation’s Devon Great Idea Grants,” said Larry Nichols, chairman and CEO of Devon Energy Corp. "These sustainable teaching projects, funded through the TEAM campaign, will have a lasting impact in Oklahoma City classrooms.”
