Centiva is pleased to announce Delores T. Aaron Elementary in New Orleans, Louisiana as our “Centiva Green School Innovation Grant" recipient for the 2013-2014 school year.
With the destruction from Hurricane Katrina, Delores T. Aaron Elementary has just recently moved into a new a school. The $3,000 from the "Centiva Green School Innovation Grant "will help build an outdoor classroom with a local marsh environment containing native Louisiana plant species, as well as a garden space that will be harvested and studied throughout the year.
