Program Highlights
Experimental Quilting
"students are given an opportunity to try something hard, and something that builds finality, there is beauty to the end product, it is functional and usable once it is done. It might have taken many many hours to complete with both heart, hands and mind but you are left with a piece of history that can be passed down, traveled with and memories made along the way"
Hood River Valley High School
Diversified Library Board Games
"I love our games. Students get excited about them, it gives students something to do with their free time (that secretly adds to their learning), and it is so exciting to see students not afraid to try something new and be able to figure it out. I loved seeing different groups of students connect, but most of all, I love that the library can add to the many reasons why it is a great place to hang out and where students love to be."

Swim Lessons For Water Safety
Growing up in Hood River County means living and playing next to lakes, streams, and the Columbia River. Being safe and confident in the water is an important skill for children to learn, which is why HRCEF and Hood River Parks & Rec have partnered to fund swim lessons for all Kindergarten, second and fourth grade students in our district.
