Wal-Mart gives Community Grant

Elsberry PTO has been working to raise money to help make improvements at the elementary school. Students in the Advance Learning Program taught by Scott Cleveland wanted to find a way to help. They wanted to raise money for new basketball backboards for the gym. The new backboards will be able to be lowered to six feet so younger students will be able to learn to play basketball. The students have been selling t-shirts and sweatshirts to raise money. Through a generous community grant by the Troy Wal-Mart of $1000 dollars, the PTO will be able to purchase one of the two backboards. The students in the Advanced Learning Program will continue to raise money until they are able to purchase the other backboard.
