Birch Grove gets Educational Alliance grant




Birch Grove Community School has received a $750 grant from the ExxonMobile Educational Alliance program to support the school. Paul Goettl of Clearview General Store in Lutsen worked with the school administration to secure the grant. The grants were made possible by funding from the ExxonMobile Corporation.

The ExxonMobile Educational Alliance program is designed to provide Exxon and Mobile retailers with an opportunity to invest in the future of their communities through educational grants to neighborhood schools. ExxonMobile believes that, as members of the community, local retailers are best qualified to work with local educators to help identify schools and programs most in need of support.

Clearview General Store met stringent eligibility criteria before applying for and being awarded this grant, including having a commitment to provide a superior buying experience for customers.

“We are sincerely grateful to Paul Goettl, Clearview and the ExxonMobile Corporation for their continued support throughout the years. It is a great feeling knowing that a local business – Clearview General Store – supports education in our community. This grant will
make a difference!” said Diane Blanchette, codirector, Birch Grove Community School.
