Middle Senior High School Receives Exxon Mobil Grant
The Morrisville Middle Senior High School receives $500 grant/donation from Exxon-Mobil corp. for service to community.
As the proprietor of the Exxon, located at 299 W. Trenton Avenue in Morrisville I am pleased to donate $500 through the Exxon “Educational Alliance Program” to Morrisville Middle/Senior High School.
According to an African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child”. I believe the youth of our community need our support to realize their full potential so they can prosper and become functional and responsible adults. In these tough economic times it is imperative not to lose our philanthropic spirit and I hope other local businesses feel encouraged to support the endeavors of our educational institutions in shaping our future generations.
I selected Morrisville Middle/Senior High School because it is an excellent facility known for its innovative spirit and a commitment to the educational advancement of its students. It is an honor for me to donate these funds as a token of my gratitude and appreciation of the hard working community, which includes the parents of the students, teachers, and administrative staff at Morrisville Middle/Senior High School. I am thankful for their patronage and for making my family and I feel like members of a wonderful community. I look forward to serving everyone to the best of my abilities.
Priyanka Tewari
President

Thank you, Ms. Tewari! It is always reassuring to know the local businesses are interested in our schools, especially when they put their money where their mouth is. And, lest anyone think otherwise, it was NOT the local gas stations that were making a fortune when gas was $4.50 a gallon.
This was a generous gift. I hope it finds a good use.
