The local submission to Dave Ramsey's "Greatest Giving Challenge" finished with the most votes, said Karen Enloe, executive director for the Jefferson City Public Schools Foundation.
The video submission will be reviewed along with the other top 10 entries, from which three will be selected to receive $5,000.
Enloe's video provided five programs that would benefit from the funds, including Early Childhood Special Education, the JCPS Preschool, the elementary EER (gifted) program, Characterplus and support for innovative teaching ideas.
