Grants
Check out some of the projects, supplies, and activities that our grants have funded below or head to our Grants page to see a summary of the other projects from the last several years.

Deep Portage
Each winter, the entire 5th grade class heads up to Deep Portage Learning Center in Hackensack, MN where they get to spend a few days learning while experiencing the great outdoors. We are proud to fund this event every year!

Archery Curriculum
CLEF funded the purchase of archery equipment for middle-school students who get to measure the initial velocity of their arrows & learn proper safety techniques for this life-long recreational activity.

Robotics Equipment
Grant funding also aided the purchase of state-of-the-art robotics equipment. The tools that were added to the lab’s inventory have allowed C-I to be “FabLab” leader as most other schools in Minnesota do not have such equipment.
