Wolf Creek Wins Toyota Drive For Education Grant

 

 After polling interest and investigating the needs of the school, Wolf Creek decided to apply for a grant to enhance the digital arts department on campus.  The grant requested funding towards a digital and photo lab where students could learn to manipulate and enhance digital photography or work on video editing. 

 

On February 15th Wolf Creek found out that they were selected to receive the grant and they will be awarded a check for $2,500 during the KSTP broadcast of the MN Boys State Hockey Tourney on Friday, March 8th.  They are also part of a finalist competition which runs through March 6th to win 10,000.  To help the school visit http://www.facebook.com/Prep45 and vote!
