Actress Sandra Bullock was inducted Friday into a New Orleans high school's “Hall of Fame” after donating tens of thousands toward rebuilding the public school heavily flooded by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Bullock took the auditorium stage at Warren Easton High School to a standing ovation from about 300 people. She said she couldn't take all the credit for renovations after the school suffered $4 million in damages from nearly 10 feet (3 meters) of floodwater from the storm. “I just write the checks,” the actress said, adding she “rides the coattails of people who do amazing things.” Bullock's portrait, drawn in crayon by her 5-year-old stepdaughter Sunny, was added to a school hallway alongside dozens of portraits of famous musicians, sports stars, judges and doctors. The exact amount of her donation hasn't been made public.
