During the 2018-19 school year, Landus made a commitment to the Greene County Community School District and the Career Academy to pledge $50,000 over a five-year time period. Today marks the completion of the donation commitment from Landus and an acceptance of $10,000 in matching funds from CHS. The Greene County Community School District has been incredibly appreciative of the support and commitment from Landus over the past five years and moving forward into the future. Plans are being made to have high school students participate in a field trip to visit Landus’ Innovation Connector in Des Moines in the very near future to learn and understand how Landus participates in businesses beyond agriculture. The Greene County Community School District wants to thank Sue Tronchetti, External Affairs, and Delbert Uhlik, Jefferson Hub Lead, for their support and commitment to the students and programs at Greene County.
