An Emotional Wellness Classroom Grant from the Foundation provided All-Terrain Wheelchairs for Clovis Unified's Sierra Outdoor School. This grant not only helps students with disabilities to participate in outdoor activities such as hiking and environmental exploration, but also promotes physical and mental well-being, and fosters a sense of community and connection with nature.
