Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- A local elementary school is showing what $10,000 of generosity can do.

Ruth Fyfe Empowerment Elementary School unveiled its new Reading Oasis Room today.

It's one of the only two schools in the nation to get a $10,000 grant from Scholastic Publishers and University of Phoenix to encourage reading for at-risk schools.

The grant money was used for new furniture, paint, bookshelves and new books.
