GRAMPIAN – Penn-Grampian second- and fourth-grade classes received a total of $470 from the CIU No. 10’s E.D.U.C.A.T.E. Program.
The funds will assist in purchasing six, stand-up desks for students in the second- and fourth-grade classrooms.
The E.D.U.C.A.T.E. Program (Employee Donations Utilized for Continuous Academic Training & Education) has been created and funded by CIU No. 10 employees.
Participating employees have a monetary deduction taken from his or her monthly paycheck, and it is donated to the E.D.U.C.A.T.E. Fund.
The goal of the E.D.U.C.A.T.E. Program is to provide a monetary award directly to schools in Centre, Clearfield and Clinton counties.
The allocation is to be used for student projects or programs that require funds to meet the project goal(s).
