$14K grant helps nature become classroom for all Lynchburg middle school students
LYNCHBURG, Va. - Torri Winchester one of the several middle school students who will make their way down to the James River this month. James River Association and Lynchburg City Schools are partnering once again to get eighth-graders out of the classroom. But it's the first time, a $14,000 grant will help get all three middle schools: Linkhorne, Sandusky and P.L Dunbar, involved in the lesson. So this is just great way for them to come out," said Matthew Mason, principal at Sandusky Middle. School officials say what students learned Tuesday will show up on their SOL (standard of learning) tests later this year.
