SLS Awarded Walmart Grant for OEA Project

Some years ago Redeemer removed a house just east of the school as a part of the parking lot project. SLS has dreamed for a few years about using this now vacant lot as an Outdoor Education Area or OEA. Mr. Beckman, who loves all things outdoors, has hoped for an opportunity to share his love of gardening with our students.

We recently applied for a Walmart Grant to provide funding for this project. We were notified we had been approved to receive $2000 for our OEA project. Work has begun on the low fence to contain the area and raised beds will be built and filled with soil in anticipation of our spring planting.

Mrs. Wendy Larkin, an SLS parent, works for Sam's Club South and encouraged our grant writing efforts. She is pictured above with Mr. Baker. Watch for our progress on Main Street.
