Mount Ellis Academy - Kohl's Cares Win

Kohl's Cares Win

In 2010, Kohl's started a Facebook contest for schools in the US to win $500,000. Mt. Ellis Academy entered this contest and came out in 10th place with 144,006 votes. After the authentication of votes process, they were in 9th place.

At the Academy and in the Church, this is spoken of as a miracle.
