Two Schools Receive $5,000 Grants

Congratulations to Old Pointe Elementary School and Pat Woloszczuk, an instructional assistant at Belleview Elementary, on being the recipients of $5,000 grants from Lowe's. Old Pointe will use its grant to update the landscaping at the entrance of the school with native plants and groundcover, install a drip-style irrigation system (to conserve water) and install a metal sculpture of the S.C. Palmetto tree at the front of the school, made by welding students at the ATC. With the grant Pat received, Belleview will improve its outdoor learning lab by adding a covered area to the picnic tables and wildlife observation areas.
