JL Lomax awarded $10,000 Goody's Good Deed for Schools grant

JL Lomax is one of fifty schools that has been awarded with a $10,000 grant as part of Goody's Good Deeds for Schools program.  Why do we offer these grants to our communities?  "Giving back to the community, letting everyone know they hey, we are a part of this community too," said Alex Thomas, manager of the Valdosta Goody's store. 

Jennifer Lukens and Susan Roberson have been working all year on the JL Lomax outdoor classroom.  Their students are benefiting from the experience in more ways than one.  First and foremost they are seeing the entire life cycle of plants and some insects as well as being able to take home fresh vegetables to their families. 

The money from the grant will be used to buy more gardening tools and plants, flowers and supplies in hopes to attract more butterflies to the new butterfly garden.
