 Pictured here: Students at the Nantucket Lighthouse School present a check to the NLC. The students received one of our educational grants to study Nantucket wildflowers and then produce a book. Much to our surprise, instead they created a beautiful calendar. The calendars were then sold and raised $6,000 which the students then donated to our Loring Campaign to preserve 270 acres. |
