BVA fund announces second round of grants
By the Mon Valley Independent
The BVA Charitable Fund is underwriting costs of establishing a “school store” as part of its latest round of grants to students and staff.
The board of directors has approved $4,498 for the purchase of a mobile kiosk for the high school, where Graphic Design and Marketing classes will sell items such as shirts, mugs, bracelets and water bottles that they design and produce.
Proceeds from the sale of student-made goods will be deposited into a special activity account and be used to fund the development of other school-related items and larger scale projects.
The BVA Fund board also has granted $692 to Marion Elementary School teachers Amy Vaccaro and Sarah Murphy to create a habitat to raise butterflies, a project that will enable students to understand the symbiotic relationships among insects, plants, humans and life cycles.
