Denny Teeter and Bismarck Elementary students and teachers took a field trip to the Hot Springs VIP Movie Theater to watch “Sing 2.”
On a cold and windy Friday morning, Denny Teeter watched as nearly 350 elementary students climbed off big yellow school buses and filled the Hot Springs VIP movie theater behind the Mall. The superintendent of the Bismarck School district, Susan Kissire, handed out hundreds of bags of popcorn and Denny started filling drink cups for the kids.
A month earlier Denny learned the Bismarck students hadn’t been on a field trip in more than two years, because of Covid and that bugged him. Older students still attended some sporting events and activities “But the little guys didn’t get to go anywhere.”
So, Denny, who owns Teeter Chevrolet in Malvern, decided to pay for the entire Bismarck Elementary School to go see Sing 2 along with 40 teachers and principals. “At first I was thinking just first and second graders but that seemed kind of mean. I didn’t want to be the guy who said you get to go but you don’t to a little kid,” Denny explained.
When asked about the idea Denny said, “My dad was a preacher and my mom was a teacher, so they raised me to help anytime I can. And I remember when my daughters were young. Field trips were such a big deal! And let me tell you the Bismarck kids were incredibly well behaved. It was really fun seeing how excited they were.”
Teeter’s generous spirit has extended to several local charities that benefited from his recent campaign to donate $100 per vehicle sold at his dealership.
