Whitney, Snyder and Morrow elementary schools each received $10,000 as Silver Award winners. Bronze Award winners Dailey Elementary School and Silvestri Middle School were given $5,000 each.
According to Rhonda Glyman, founder of Nevada PIE, each of the 326 public schools in the Clark County School District was invited to participate.
She said 112 schools completed written reviews. Site visits by an independent committee were used to select winners.
