Some of the projects funded by Kids In Need grants that our students have done include making a documentary for a science class, making books, building an obstacle course for PE, rappelling, painting frescos on a classroom ceiling, putting on an art show, putting on a history fair, and studying the life cycle of salmon.

Role:  Professional with expertise in this field & I applied for several grants for classes I teach.
