On
May 16, 2006, the Nixon Elementary School received a $500 grant from the
Wal-Mart Foundation through the local Ledgewood Wal-Mart store, # 2569.
Wal-Mark store representative Sharon Wallman and store manager Glenn
Woemer were instrumental in helping to obtain the grant which will be used to
further refurbish Nixon’s outdoor Environmental Center.
According to teachers, “It is becoming more and
more beautiful each week.” Planned
additions to the Environmental Center include bird feeders, birdhouses, a
birdbath, and a small weather station. ESL
teacher Mr. Brian Sferra is quite proud of this special edition. "When the weather is nice, teachers and students use the
outdoor center daily.”
Thank you Wal-Mart for supporting the efforts of the teachers and students in the Roxbury School District!
