(KLZA)-- The Auburn Public Schools received more good news recently.
The “Auburn Public Schools Greenhouse and Outreach Center” will receive a Nebraska Environmental Trust Grant in the amount of $220,021.
The project is one of 118 projects across the state, receiving a total of nearly $18.8-million in grant awards from the Nebraska Environmental Trust this year.
The Auburn Public Schools Greenhouse project is the next step in creation of an agriculture/natural resources program that touches the lives of the community, state and nation. The grant funds will be used to build a greenhouse that will serve as a hands-on experience for the students of Auburn Public Schools and the community at large.
The greenhouse is to become a core piece within the Auburn Public Schools Agriculture/natural resources program. The goal is for the program to provide an instructionally sound, rigorous agriculture/natural resources curriculum available to all regular education and special needs students and the community at large.
Continuing education courses through Southeast Community College and the University of Nebraska Extension Office will be taught in the classroom and greenhouse settings.
