Sixth-graders in the Motivating Academically Talented Students gifted program at North Ridge Middle School in Danville and teacher Kim Norton walk in a school courtyard Thursday. The students won a $10,000 Goody's Good Deeds for Schools grant to revitalize the enclosure.
DANVILLE – North Ridge Middle School won a $10,000 grant to breathe new life into a rundown courtyard.
School officials said winning a competitive grant, especially for that amount, is impressive. It's even more remarkable that the multifaceted application was prepared by 11- and 12-year-olds.
