“KCCC Adds Security Measures in Children’s Garden ”

Mount Vernon, OH – Knox County Career Center (KCCC) experienced vandalism the
past two summers in the Children’s Garden. These acts of vandalism prompted KCCC to pursue
more extensive security measures in order to keep the Children’s Garden open. KCCC applied
for grants to receive funding for the security measures and received $7,000 from the Knox
County Foundation, and $2,500 from the Knox County Safety Council. KCCC contributed the
remaining $2,700.

“We are so grateful for the Knox County Foundation and the Knox County Safety Council
for providing funds to enhance security measures in the Children’s Garden. These measures will
assist us in keeping the Garden open to the community,” Superintendent Kathy Greenich
shared.
