You are helping me fund my life dream of giving back to the community who raised me!
This scholarship provides me with the means to pursue my educational goals but also motivates me to give back to this community. I am eager to honor your investment in my future.
Thank you so much for this scholarship! I look forward to becoming an elementary educator at Western Oregon University. I hope to return to Hood River and give back to my community.
Program Highlights
2nd Grade Visists Oregon Zoo
The best part about taking Parkdale kids to Portland and the zoo is that for SO many students it's their first time seeing the city and going to the zoo. It is a trip that they talk about years later. … It's a great opportunity for students to learn about habitat, conservation, and up close learning with amazing animals.
Parkdale Elementary
Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler Field Trip
The Field Trip Grant provided us with the opportunity to extend our learning from the classroom to the Columbia River. Taking a ride on the Columbia Gorge Sternwheeler was an ideal educational adventure for our 8th grade learners and staff. This experience allowed our students the opportunity to connect their learning targets directly to the native history of our region.
Wy'East Middle School
Athletic Fee Waivers
Students at Wy'East and Hood River Middle School have the opportunity to participate in a robust offering of fall, winter, and spring sports. Fees – up to $150 per year – can prevent students from participating. HRCEF offers need-based fee waivers to families so that all students can play sports with their peers.
