First "big check" school visit of the year! Love it! The Foundation and Illinois Farm Bureau are so proud to be able to assist high school journalism efforts like those at Lockport Township High School.

Alert! Congratulations to Julia Pusinelli, English Teacher & Porter Press Club Sponsor, for applying for a grant from the Illinois Press Foundation & Illinois Farm Bureau. She was selected to receive money for the school newspaper. This morning, she was presented with the check and plans to put it toward a camera for the club. 📰✨
