Last Call! Classroom Mini-Grants Close This Friday!

There’s still time to bring your ideas to life! Our Classroom Mini-Grant applications close this Friday, and we’d love to see what you’ve been dreaming up for your students.

Pictured here: One of our Fall 2025 funded projects, CES/PE Bikes which brought together physical education instruction, After School Academy, CES Clubs, and Safe Routes to School. This project gave every student the chance to learn how to ride a bike and understand road safety, while also building ownership and hands-on skills through bike maintenance during Wednesday Club and Genius Hour.

This is exactly the kind of creative, student-centered learning we love to support.

If you have an innovative idea like this, big or small, don’t wait! Apply before Friday and let us help make it happen.
