Target Corporation announced last week the names of the 50 recipients that were selected to receive a $100,000 grant to purchase much-needed resources and improve their learning environments, and Graham Road Elementary School in Falls Church was among those selected.

From Nov. 25 through Jan. 4, viewers of The Ellen DeGeneres Show were invited to submit the name of a school in need along with a compelling story explaining why they felt the designated school should receive a grant from Target. Based on the nominations received, Target selected 48 schools and two school districts to receive grants.
