Freetown –
Lakeville Middle School has received a $500 grant from the
ExxonMobil Educational Alliance program to support the school’s
programs. Robert Carpenter, Manager of
the New England Farms Freetown, worked with school officials
to secure the grant which is one
of 4,000 available to schools across the country served by
Exxon or Mobil stations. The grants were made possible by
funding from the Exxon Mobil Corporation. Many of our employees
went
to the Freetown schools or currently have children in the
school system. We understand that the Freetown – Lakeville
Middle School works hard to make learning interesting and
fun," said Tom Pratt, Owner/Director of Operations, of
the New England Farms chain. As a Mobil retailer, I am proud
to help the young people of Freetown.
The
Exxon Mobil Educational Alliance program is designed
to provide Exxon and Mobil retailers with an opportunity to
invest in the future of their communities through educational
grants to neighborhood schools. Exxon Mobil believes that,
as members of the community, local retailers are best qualified
to work with local educators to help identify schools and
programs most in need of support.
New England Farms
met stringent eligibility criteria before applying for and
being awarded
this grant, including having a commitment to provide a superior
buying experience for customers..
As part of this
grant funding, New England Farms matched the Exxon Mobil by
also donating $500.00. On November 30, 2007, New England Farms
was proud to present the school with
two checks totaling $1,000.00.
