Vulcan Materials 'adopts' new Central Elementary School at ribbon cutting

At its ribbon cutting on Thursday, August 17, Central Elementary School was presented with a $1,500 grant from Vulcan Materials Company's Plainfield Quarry as part of the latter's "Adopt-a-School" program. Central Principal Linda DiLeo and Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 Board of Education President Michael Kelly were presented with the check. Central has already determined that $500 of the grant would be used to help construct the school's playground. The rest of the donation will be used for educational materials or character-building programs.	Attendants filed into the new Central Elementary School after ribbon cutting ceremonies on August 17.
