A gigantic round of applause is in order for the teachers and kids at MS 88, [Peter Rouget Middle School](http://insideschools.org/middle/browse/school/669?ref=bklyner.com). Out of over 1,500 entries, the school was chosen as one of five grand prize winners in the [2013 Samsung Solve for Tomorrow contest](https://pages.samsung.com/us/sft/video.jsp?ref=bklyner.com). Here’s what they walk away with:

> $100,000 of Samsung® merchandise.

> $7,000 grant from DirecTV® (awarded in the form of a check made payable to the winning school) and the DIRECTV GOES TO SCHOOL® package.

> $3,000 of Adobe® software

> Trip for four to attend the Winner Announcement Ceremony in Washington, DC.

Their winning video submission shows the students devising a way to help pollution in the Gowanus. Ultimately, they decide that installing a green roof on the school would help reduce the amount of storm runoff that enters the canal.
