Stonewall Jackson and Lakewood elementary are going head to head all month long in a friendly fundraising battle that will benefit both public schools. They’re competing to get the most receipts at Grub Burger Bar on Greenville at University. Helping the schools is simple, just tell Grub which one you want to support when you place your order.
