School children across Texas on Thursday were asked to become "history heroes" by raising money for preservation of the Alamo. Parents, teachers, students and even entire schools can create a fundraising page through the Alamo website—thealamo.org. Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath said the fundraiser will engage students in Alamo history. The top five fundraising individuals can win a VIP trip to the Alamo and a ride on the Alamo river float during Fiesta. The top three fundraising schools can win big cash prizes of $5,000, $10,000 and $25,000.
