jack/ots time for "one classroom at time." bankers trust and local 5 are excited to give this thousand dollar grant to a teacher who's trying to help his students learn a lesson that many adults struggle with... diversity and acceptance. he hopes to do that with the help of real people instead of just books. stephanie angleson has the story. "i want to congratulate you. because you are the winner of this month's one classroom at a time grant sponsored by local 5 and bankers trust. so you can all clap... if you'd like to make some noise. chris covington teaches social studies at metro west

couple that with the guidance of their teachers and the real life perspective of someone who's lived it...you have a lesson with tremendous impact. chris covington knows that can translate into better grades, and a stonger chance at graduation. but he hopes for something a little more long term.... and perhaps, more meaningful. that they can become good citizens..that's my goal.... jack: teachers -- if you could use some extra money for a special project at your school, visit our website we are iowa dot com and apply for a 20-16 "one classroom at a time" grant. jack: coming up on local 5 news at ten. the iowa men take on tennesee tech at home. it should be an easy win for the hawks. see who came out on top later in sports. stephanie: next.... one iowa town is learning this lesson all over again. just when you think santa has forgotten about

goodwill, to 15 unsuspecting siouxlanders. deputies from the woodbury county sheriff's office drove us around and helped spot some folks they could tell needed a little holiday cheer. deputy jim mccrystal says, "we're just looking for people that we want to approach, talk with them, and again, maybe things just arean't going their way at this point and time, financially, and we just want to help them out as much as we can, so it's great that our secret santa is in a position to donate this money." one man invited us into his home where he's caring for four children. he says it's been a tough year paying the bills, and the money, is a bit of a relief.

because this has been a slow year as far was work goes; you know, ready, willing, and able to work, but the ground was soft and, you know, so work just wasn't there this year, so this is awesome. jerry cruz, woodbury county transport officer, says, "it's a lot of fun. it makes me feel good to be able to share the holiday spirit with people that [you can] make it a little bit easier for them. it's a good feeling." everyone we met needed this money, especially this time of year... woman says, "i'm so overwhelmed, i can't believe it. it could've have come at a better time for me an my kids." but, even more than that, maybe, they needed hope - someone to care about them - someone who understands that the holidays aren't easy for everybody. womans says, "you kind of lose faith a little bit at christmas time,
