HEF Grants Continue to Support Staff and Students During the Pandemic
Undaunted by the current pandemic and the shift to distance learning, Hopkins staff and students continue to innovate and generate BIG ideas. Virtual grant presentations were made this past year on a rotating cycle, to better allow for IMMEDIATE implementation. See what your donations are funding HERE.
HEF also made a $50,000 COVID-19 inspired grant in May, 2020 to support the Hopkins School District’s shift to distance learning.
