Lucketts Ruritan Club Makes First Youth Development Grant Awards

•  Lucketts Elementary School, Parent Liaison Office – a grant of $1,620 to fund evening childcare services for parents attending the school’s Beginning English as a Second Language, (ESL) program.  The Loudoun Literacy Council will provide an ESL instructor and class materials.
• Lucketts Elementary PTA – a grant of $1500 for installation of a Sensory Pathway at the school.  The Sensory Pathway helps students improve their sequencing and focusing skills.
• Phillip Thresher, of Lucketts Boy Scout Troop 1910 – $500 for the purchase of plants and materials to construct a flowerbed at the Lucketts Community Center entrance as an Eagle Scout project. Phillip designed the flowerbed, researched, and selected suitable plants, and prepared an installation plan.  He will mentor and instruct ten younger Troop members on the installation of the final project.

Adolfo Menendez, President of the Lucketts Ruritan Club, stated  “…Where needs exceed our Club’s ability to fully fund a qualified request, we are working to find partners, like the Loudoun Literacy Council, to assist our applicants.”
