Because of REFI’s Innovative Learning Grants, students are stepping into science, literally. This $600 Stream Ecology Resources grant provided waders and equipment so students could conduct real macroinvertebrate surveys.

💡 “The REFI grant increased hands-on participation… deepening their practical understanding of aquatic ecosystems and water quality assessment.”

⏳ There are less than 5 hours left in the Great Community Give!
We’ve already raised $3,000+, but we need your help to reach our $7,000 goal by 8 PM.

Every donation, starting at just $10, helps fund more innovative, real-world learning experiences like this for RCPS students.

🎯 Give now and make an impact today.
