Lowe’s Tool Box for Education Grants Give Back to Schools
August 21st, 2009 by Lisa GundlachBuilding school pride and connecting kids with nature are just two of the remarkable ways that Lowe’s Tool Box for Education Grants help schools. To date, they have provided more than $17 million to almost 4,000 schools across the country. What the numbers don’t tell you, is how these grants promote parent involvement in schools and bring communities together. Pretty awesome.
Their fall grant cycle is now open. So, if your PTO or PTA has a beautification project that you are not sure how you are going to fund, be sure to check out their website. Also, if you want to see what some other schools are doing with their grant money, visit the Lowe’s Toolobox for Education Facebook page.

I am a Pinellas County Special Education Teacher at Calvin Hunsinger School. The School is housed on 10 acres of land. In my grant I would like to purchase the Equipment that would allow me to hay the 8 acres of grassland. The rolls or bales of hay we receive from the field will be donated to the Humane Society to feed the goats, cows and horses at the center. We will also be able to give the hay to necessary horse rescue farms. By cutting the field, we will be getting rid of the excess grasses. This means the fields will no longer clogg the ditches that are running along side of the field and roads.
