John M. Gandy Elementary School has been selected to receive the 2009-2010 Lowe’s Toolbox for Education Grant from the Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation (LCEF).   Lowe’s awarded $5,000 to “Gandy’s Garden: In Search of Patterns in Nature.”

The Gandy Garden Committee has been hard at work planning and fundraising for the new Gandy Garden.  In December, the Gandy PTA sponsored a community Art Auction and raised the seed money for the garden project.  Every student participated in some way in the Art Auction.

This grant will enable the Gandy Garden to move forward with the design process and the first phase of implementation.
