Monrovia, CA — Dr. Anthony Fellow, board director for the Upper San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District (Upper Water), presented Dr. Greg Gero, principal of Plymouth Elementary School, with a $1,000 grant for the school’s water-wise vegetable garden. This grant is one of 22 water-related school projects awarded under the Upper Water’s Water Education Grant Program (WEGP).
Every year, WEGP provides funding of up to $1,000 for educators to help implement water projects and programs into their classroom curriculum. Any K-12th grade school within Upper Water’s service area is eligible to apply for a grant. Projects must focus on water-related subjects that further students’ understanding of environmental issues, water sustainability, and the vital role water plays within our region and State. This year the Board of Directors awarded over $16,500 to help fund 22 classroom projects throughout the San Gabriel Valley.
