GRAND ISLAND, Neb. (AP) — Officials say a minigrant from the Grand Island Public Schools Foundation will be used to buy video and audio recording equipment so Success Academy students can interview veterans.

Two teachers at Grand Island High School received the $590 grant Monday afternoon. The Success Academy is an alternative education program for students in grades six through 12. Success Academy students take a mix of mandatory core classes and elective classes.

Teacher Laurie Clark says interviewing veterans will be offered as an elective.

Success Academy students who interview veterans will be doing so as part of The Veterans History Project of the American Folklife Center, through the Library of Congress. Completed interviews will be filed with the Library of Congress.
