On June 7th, 2024, Rural Schools Collaborative celebrated and heard from 17 rural teachers who were awarded grants to do a Place-Based Education project that connected their classrooms and communities. These grants were provided with support from the Patterson Family Foundation.

Examples of projects included multiple garden-based initiatives, connecting history and language arts lessons to local culture, bringing the community together for mental health awareness, a healthy living and eating workshop, and so much more.
