So as your group looks ahead to the 2010-11 school year, do you have an upcoming school improvement project -- like a library or science lab upgrade or an outdoor classroom -- that could use a $5,000 jump-start? If the answer is yes, think about applying for a Lowe's Toolbox for Education grant. The Toolbox for Education program donates funds to lots of groups just like yours every year.
The fall 2010 grant cycle is open now; deadline is Oct. 15. To learn more, just go to www.toolboxforeducation.com. Good luck, and let us know how your project goes.
