Celebrating the 2025-26 Hands-On Learning Grant Winners
This cycle of Hands-on Learning grants continues to be funded through the Staff Charitable Giving Campaign. New in 2025 is funding from Bird Bash 2025 - the theme for Bird Bash 2025 was "Elevating our Hands-On Learning Grants" to fund innovative and educational opportunities to engage students. With this extra funding, we were able to award $36,754 to 15 Robbinsdale district faculty and staff this year! Visit our Hands-On Learning Grant page for more details.
