Moore Magnet Elementary School has received a grant of $4,980 from The Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation for
the school's beautification project.
Moore’s landscape and garden committee’s mission is to improve the landscape around the school with a focus on native plants, edible plants, and a garden that will educate the children on healthy food, sustainability, and the science of agriculture. This grant will be used to purchase plants, shrubs, and trees, as well as fund our expanding edible garden. The project is scheduled to be completed by June of 2014.
