Program Highlights
Creating With Green Screen
"Our students have been SO excited to enjoy the green screen tools from this grant. It is rewarding to watch them work together to create pictures or videos so full of imagination. For them, using green screen is a time of total artistic freedom and they are so over the moon when they finish a project. They experience working together as well as learning how to maneuver in the app as well as with lighting and the green screen itself. … Perhaps this will create a spark in them now. But for all of the students, they will definitely remember this activity with fondness well after their elementary years."

Tiny Home Builders
"Students like to build stuff! … It is a model that brings out the best in students. They bring their best energy to a big, bold project that gives them a real sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. … Our goal was to finish this current tiny house build by the end of the school year, using the sales of the home to fund future year's builds."

Playground Communication Boards
Environmental Communication Boards were installed at seven Hood River County School District playgrounds to help create accessible and inclusive communication opportunities for all students within our community. These communication boards are intended to assist students of all ability levels with expressing their thoughts and feelings, creating and maintaining meaningful relationships, and making connections with their peers while participating in essential life experiences learned through outdoor play.
