Bosch donates $10,000 to LR Jackson for STEM

Funds will be used for special programs

WM School District L.R. Jackson Elementary got a huge lift recently when a major West Memphis business donated a large sum for Science, Technology, English and Math.

The Bosch Power Tool Corporation donated $10,000 toward STEM for L.R. Jackson. Bosch is a major player in the West Memphis School District's Partners In Education program for the last four years. 'Bosch is a big supporter of the STEM programs,' said Scott Wallace, director physical logistics for North America. 'Coming from a company with a lot of engineering, that's what we like to support. This also gets our name out there to the community because we want to be linked to this area. We just want to be a good community member.'

Accompanying Wallace in presenting L.R. Jackson with the check were HR manager Marion Littlejohn and director of physical distribution Virgil Roberson.
