Apple Federal Credit Union Impact Grant

We are excited to announce that Olde Creek was selected as the recipient of an Impact Grant of  $4,000 from the Apple Federal Credit Union Education Foundation. Four of our staff members wrote the grant application earlier this Fall that was chosen following a rigorous selection process. Congratulations to Ms. Butler, Ms. Barton, Ms. Stobbe, and Ms. Poppe for all of their hard work. The funding from the grant will be used to support the new Innovation Lab, that our students recently named the Creation Cave. We will purchase new technology, resources, and robotics equipment that will be available for all of our students to use this year. Thank you to Apple for their generosity and support.
