Grants in Action

Since 2007, CREF has supported over 160 innovative learning initiatives that have helped to transform the educational landscape for Council Rock students. Beyond the confines of the annual school budget, these grants have allowed our students to embark on extraordinary journeys, exploring ancient Egypt through virtual reality, connecting with nature in outdoor classrooms, and mastering crucial coding skills that prepare them for success in the digital age.
