It was a typical day for Gainesville High School special education teacher Robert Horne this past May, when he went to a local store and purchased a case of fruit drinks for his students. Just a few minutes later, Horne found himself the winner of $3,000. What happened next was a cascade of events, all stemming from Horne’s desire to use that money for the betterment of his students.
