ORANGE BEACH, Ala. — Orange Beach Elementary School has received a $750 grant from the ExxonMobil Educational Alliance program to support the school’s technology program.

E.W. Barnette of Merritt Oil Company in Mobile worked with school officials to secure the grant, which is one of 2,400 available to schools across the country serviced by Exxon or Mobil stations.

The grants were made possible by funding from the ExxonMobil Corporation.

“Orange Beach Elementary School works hard to make learning interesting and fun,” Barnette said. “As an Exxon retailer, I am proud to help young people of Orange Beach.”

The ExxonMobil Educational Alliance program is designed to provide Exxon and Mobil retailers with an opportunity to invest in the future of their communities through educational grants to neighborhood schools. ExxonMobil believes that, as members of the community, local retailers are best qualified to work with local educators to help identify schools and programs most in need of support.
