TSB Television helps honor contributions to Minnesota's private schools

Continuing our focus on community involvement, TSB Television brought the 3rd Annual Minnesota Private and Independent Education Awards to the airwaves on TV and online! Hosted by St. Catherine University, the awards program run by Minnesota Independent School Forum recognizes contributions made by students and faculty of member schools, which include most of the state's private high schools. Among the honorees was DeLaSalle High School for their Starry Night Prom, an event designed for the disabled community to enjoy what many students take for granted; a student transferred from Haiti following the country's devastating earthquake in 2010, and the first graduating class of Dream Makers scholars, whose sponsors allowed them to cover the costs of attending an MISF member school.

Now you can cheer on the deserving award recipients. Just watch the video!
