Fourth grade Creedmoor Elementary School of the Arts Teacher, Leslie Nunnery, was awarded an NC Outdoor Heritage Advisory GO Grant for $2500.00. This will allow her 4th-grade students to visit penpals that they’ve corresponded with throughout the year and attend Heritage Days at Maple Grove.

GO Grants are $250 to $2,500 grants that will be provided to access field study locations and assist with other expenditures that result from taking students outdoors. Qualifying for grants requires instructors to demonstrate how the experience will address topics currently being taught in class and how the experience meets the goals of the Outdoor Heritage Trust Fund plan.
The GO Grants are awarded by the North Carolina Outdoor Heritage Trust Fund for Youth Outdoor Heritage Promotion which is administered by the North Carolina Outdoor Heritage Advisory Council. The Outdoor Heritage Advisory Council and Trust Fund were established in 2015 by the North Carolina General Assembly in an effort to expand the opportunities for persons age 16 and under to engage in outdoor recreational activities.
