Nottoway Middle Wins 30 in 30

Nottoway Middle School in Crewe has been awarded a 30 in 30 Grant of $1000 in the Recycling category. This program was made possible by Altria and MeadWestvaco.

Nottoway Middle School constructed a community garden two years ago that provides fresh produce for the students through a hands-on learning environment. Now the project will be more self-sustaining with funds provided by our 30 in 30 Grant. Rain barrels will be purchased to collect water from the roof of the school to water the garden, and a composting program will begin with the daily cafeteria waste, to be used as fertilizer. All students at Nottoway Middle School will participate in this project through science classes, and a Garden Keepers Club will meet once a week to give students the opportunity to be more involved with the garden.
