(KLZA)-- Falls City Public Schools have recently received funding that will help in several areas.
The State Board of Education approved Falls City High school for a 2015 National School Lunch Program Equipment Assistance Grant totaling $15,685. A new mixer will be purchased for the high school kitchen with the funds.
Falls City Public Schools recently was awarded a 2016 Keys + Kids Piano Grant made available by the VH1 Save the Music Foundation. Kindergarten – 12th grade schools with a full-time music teacher were eligible to apply.
The grant consists of $10,000 worth of musical instruments; a Casio Cleviano Grand Hybrid GP 500 Piano and three Casio Music Workstations. Falls City was one of just 18 school districts receiving the grants and was the only one in the Midwest region.
The ShopKo Foundation recently donated $2,000 to the Falls City Public Schools through the local support of the “Help Us Give Back” campaign. Donated funds were earmarked to help support the purchase and installation of a sound system in the Middle School gymnasium.
The Sixpence Program also received a $500 donation from the Falls City Elks Lodge.
