EPAK awarded over $350,000 in grants to East Palo Alto and Menlo Park teachers since the pandemic began. Teachers shared that the grants have provided "tremendous joy" to students as well as key supplemental learning.
"EPAK has given our students access to scientific experiences within their homes, which would not have been possible without the grants. Because of EPAK's dedication to our community, KEHS students have experienced the magic of hands-on scientific learning, even under extraordinary circumstances."
- Rachel Sabol, Pre-AP Biology Teacher
