West Cape May Elementary was recently awarded a $10,000 grant by the New Jersey Education Association and Sustainable Jersey for Schools.

The funds are intended to help schools that connect sustainability efforts with student leaning through such means as outdoor learning classrooms, an aquaponics system, native habitat gardens and sustainability curriculum, according to capemaycountyherald.com.
