Neal Land & Neighborhoods has donated $10,000 to Barbara A. Harvey Elementary School for the purchase of classroom books for long-term use. The donation allowed teachers to order 833 books for grades K-5, catering to the different grade level standards and enhancing learning opportunities. Neal Land & Neighborhoods is a local land planning and community developer at the helm of North River Ranch and Vistera of Venice master-planned communities. Neal Land & Neighborhoods made the donation after John A. Neal, president of Neal Land & Neighborhoods, learned about the elementary school’s need for classroom books after visiting the school to support the PTO’s Read-A-Thon fundraiser. During this visit, Neal surprised the top readers of each grade level with donut parties – 419 students participated and read a total of 86,420 minutes. To commemorate the opening of the school in 2020, the land developer donated over $10,000 in scholastic books to help stock Barbara A. Harvey Elementary’s library. Neal Land & Neighborhoods was instrumental in facilitating the development of Barbara A. Harvey Elementary School, which has been rated an A school for two consecutive years, and the nearby Parrish Community High School. With plans for a new middle school and a State College of Florida campus in the future, North River Ranch has become an educational hub for the Manatee County region.
