Intermediate East students view one of several planter boxes that have been built with funds from a $2,500 dollar Pride Grant that was awarded to the school by the Toms River Education Association. Here, Mrs. Richard’s students stand with Ms. Nancy Jubert, IE’s Educational Professional of the Year 2017-2018, who was instrumental in obtaining the grant. As part of the project, parents and community members will be participating in activities, and healthy foods will be grown to be used in the school cafeteria and donated to a local food pantry.
