Proceeds will benefit the students of the Council Rock School District by funding projects and programs aimed at enhancing and elevating educational opportunities.

From immersive virtual reality explorations of ancient Egypt to the establishment of outdoor classrooms that reconnect students with nature and early coding education to prepare children for the digital age, CREF initiatives are diverse and impactful, said Dobosh.

In addition, CREF supports free educational events throughout the community that are open to the public.

Here are a few ways members of the public and the business community can support the projects and initiatives of CREF:

"Our recent initiatives have made significant impacts, from enhancing STEM learning environments with state-of-the-art autoclaves to expanding mental health resources by expanding a comprehensive suicide prevention program and introducing innovative learning tools like VOX Books to our youngest learners," said Dobosh.
