SPRINGFIELD, Mo. - Filling your gas tank today can give teachers more momentum in local classrooms. It's called "Gallons for Growth," and it helps to support Springfield Public Schools. For every gallon of gas you pump at any of the 38 Kum-N-Go locations in Springfield from now until midnight tonight, Kum-N-Go will donate 3 cents to the Foundation for Springfield Public Schools. That money will then go to fund grants that SPS teachers applied for in June -- for things like iPads in classrooms, books, and field trips for students.
