Lakewood Public School Receives $8,000 Grant
Lowes Donates Money For Alameda High School Ace Program
Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation has awarded an $8,000 grant to
Alameda High School's Ace Program. The school plans to use the grant money to
renovate a former auto mechanics shop into a career education classroom.
The Ace Program provides students with an alternative, integrated academic
course of study that explores possible careers and helps students meet
graduation requirements. Alameda students will be involved in the classroom
renovations to learn math, science, construction skills and workplace
cooperation.
This generous contribution will be used to significantly enhance the learning
atmosphere of the classroom that was previously used as an auto mechanics lab,
said Richard D. Zarkowski, Alameda High School principal. We are honored to be
chosen and are most appreciative of Lowes kindness and generosity in helping
improve the education of our students enrolled in the Alameda Ace Program.
The grant in Lakewood, Colorado represents Lowes commitment to education, said
Larry D. Stone, chairman of Lowes Charitable and Educational Foundation. By
supporting local schools like Alameda High
School we believe we are not only contributing to a cause that's important to
our customers and employees, but we're also helping schools build a stronger
foundation for the children who will be tomorrows employees, homeowners and
community leaders.
Since its inception in 1957, Lowes Charitable and Educational Foundation has
helped communities nationwide through employee volunteerism and financial
contributions. In 2004 alone, the Foundation supported community and education
projects across the country through grants totaling more than $3 million.
