“Fort Fairfield Middle High School worked hard to make learning interesting and fun,” said King. “ As a Mobil retailer, I am proud to help the young people of Fort Fairfield.”
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 the best qualified to work with local educators to help identify schools and programs most in need of support.
King met stringent eligibility criteria before applying for and being awarded this grant, including having a commitment to provide a superior buying experience for the sites customers.
