L-K Agriculture Teacher Receives Grant

Linden-Kildare High School received funding from Collins Academy and the Today Foundation totaling nearly $1,500 for a proposal submitted by Mariah McPherson, Agriculture Teacher and FFA Advisor at Linden-Kildare High School.  
Grant funding will be used by McPherson to purchase supplies and materials necessary for the school greenhouse to become the Linden-Kildare Native Plant Center.  
“The goal of the project is for McPherson’s Wildlife Management and Horticulture students to provide public and private landowners with a source for native plants,” stated Gary Endsley, Director of Collins Academy.  
“Side benefits include education of students and the community on native flora and fauna, improved habitat for pollinators including the Monarch Butterfly, and increased awareness of environmental issues in our region,” he added.
