Two Mineola schools were selected to receive grants as part of Jovia Financial Credit Union’s “Funding Your Ideas” Teacher Grant Program. Each school will receive $500 to help fund specific programs that were submitted with the applications.

Mineola Middle School’s “Great Tools Build Great Mindsets” program is spearheaded by Band Director Zach St. John who will use the funds to purchase high quality mouthpieces and ligatures for instruments used by the seventh grade music students.

Mineola High School’s Student Service Center submitted the “One World” program, an initiative that fosters friendships and bridges the gap between generations. Their grant will be used to purchase supplies needed for students to create small flowering planters with personalized messages of friendship that will be delivered to senior citizens the students have met at luncheons and events throughout the year, including some living in nursing homes.
