MMS Exxon grant

Marion Middle School has received a $500 grant from the Exxon Mobil Educational Alliance Program to support the school’s math and science endeavors. Circle N Market worked with school officials to secure the grant which is one of 4,400 available to schools across the country served by Exxon or Mobil stations. The grants were made possible by funding from the Exxon Mobil Corporation. Nimocks Oil Company is proud to have the opportunity through this grant program to invest in the educational future of the communities it serves. To date, over $67,500 has been given to area schools since the inception of this program. The grant will be used by the math and science programs at MMS.
