The John V Lindsay Wildcat Academy is happy to announce the awarding of a $50,000 grant to our school from the Charles Hayden Foundation. The Academy plans to use this grant to hire a school psychologist. This is the second grant the school has received from the foundation. With the initial grant the school was able to build its state of the art culinary kitchen and training facility in Hunts Point.
