Journey Elementary first grader Mikey Jonnassen was diagnosed with a brain tumor earlier this year. During his surgery, he had two strokes which left him unable to eat by himself, speak, see, or walk. Now, Journey Elementary is holding a donation opportunity to help raise funds to pay for his medical bills.
Journey Elementary School teacher Rebecca Junge stood in front of an auditorium full of her students and peers to accept the Milken Educator Award, which included an unrestricted $25,000 to do with what she wanted.
