Boeing grant

San Fernando Valley Business Journal, Nov 6, 2006 by Barbara Sheppard

The Lancaster Museum/Art Gallery has received a $9,000 donation from the Boeing Company helping to bring culture and art to local schools. Boeing's plant 42 located in Palmdale, continues its support of the Antelope Valley with this latest grant. The Partners in Education grant will enable educators to request free visits from the museum/art gallery's education specialists. Since not all schools are able to sponsor field trips, due to budget constraints, a "mini-museum" can now be brought to the classroom. The one-hour presentations in the educational trunk will include topics such as pioneers, miners and Native American history of the Antelope Valley.

"These programs will enhance a school's curriculum in a fun and educational manner," said Jessica Derrick, education specialist at the Lancaster Museum/Art Gallery.
