A Richmond County School System teacher was surprised with a significant donation from DonorsChoose this morning. Good Morning America reporter Will Reeve was in Augusta to interview Donny Carswell and his Media students at Glenn Hills High School today. 

Carswell was selected as the first teacher recognized in a new segment on Good Morning America called Class Act, which recognizes teachers who are making a difference for students during the return to in-person instruction. The Good Morning America and DonorsChoose staff learned of Mr. Carswell’s media class and student morning show and selected him for the recognition. 

“I was really surprised by the donation from DonorsChoose. With these funds, we are going to be able to purchase some state-of-the-art equipment to improve the quality of our shows and even help us produce movies,” says Carswell.
