Investing in the next generation: VVEC awards Adopt-A-School grants
Education is freedom. That’s why VVEC has been working with school systems in our service territory for more than 20 years to assist in providing a quality edu- cation to our young people. Through the Adopt-A-School
grant program, we help school systems enhance the learning experience by purchasing need- ed resources, such as books, computers, software, electronic equipment, updating their librar- ies, or purchasing equipment that will make the school and grounds safer.
This year, 14 area schools sub- mitted grant applications. Five grant recipients were selected: Catalayah Elementary in Cla- remore, JW Sam Elementary in Catoosa, Oklahoma Union Pub- SPJ :JOVVSZ PU :V\[O *VffL`]PSSL Pawhuska Public Schools in Pawhuska and Sequoyah Middle School in Claremore. For more information on the Adopt-A-School grant program, visit
