MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J. - Nyenta -- Greenhouse Grant further cultivates academic programs rooted in literacy and offers all-season crop growing

Mountain Lakes, New Jersey -

The Craig School was recently awarded $20,000.00 of grant funding by The Summit Foundation to support a new greenhouse to enhance cross-curricular learning for students with learning disabilities [learning differences]. This funding supports the purchase of a greenhouse to expand its beloved gardening program. The school's current program is seasonal and provides reading, writing, and math cross-curricular enhancements that round out students' academic programs.  The greenhouse expands the academic reach rooted in literacy and reading for yearlong cross-curricular enrichment.

"The Craig School is pleased to receive this grant award towards a greenhouse and the creation of a signature curriculum for students rooted in literacy and reading across all content areas. A central component of The Craig School Way is the School's focus on "whole child" education and this grant creates a meaningful impact on year-round hands-on learning." said Dr. Kara A. Loftin, Head of School, The Craig School.
