The foundation’s program director, Callie Borror, will present the award at 1:30 p.m at the school, located at 9637 Avenue 196.

Each year the foundation awards grants to as many as 24 schools that either have existing student gardens or have an interest in creating them. In the second round of grants this year, eight schools were selected to receive $1,200 each.
