Moberly School District has received an $8,720 grant from the Lowe’s Charitable and Educational foundation for an outdoor learning center located behind Moberly Middle School.

Moberly School district will use the grant to expand the school outdoor learning areas for the students. The Middle School facility improvements include the building of a gazebo, a storage area, as well as planters, shrubs, and additional trees for shade. The area is located on the south side of the building which is adjacent to the Dr. Larry K. Noel Stadium project.

Lowe’s is committed to recognizing and supporting efforts that enrich the lives of our neighbors and customers, said Larry D. Stone, chairman of Lowe’s Charitable and Educational Foundation.”By supporting facility improvements such as an outdoor learning center with Moberly School District, we are contributing to a cause that’s important to our customers and employees, and we are helping build a stronger foundation for the children who will be tomorrow’s employees, homeowners and community leaders.”
