Superintendent, Peter M. Carbone, announced at the school board meeting on Wednesday May 12th, that they will receive a $9,000 grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. The grant will be used to place a garden at the Aliquippa Elementary School. This idea was first brought to the attention of the Aliquippa Food Department, as Aliquippa is considered a “food desert”. Dr. Carbone also stated that he would like to have the teachers involved.
