The other night I attended a reception that the Ridgewood Education Foundation hosted to celebrate the recipients of its grants during the 2009-10 school year. It was really nice to spend some time talking with teachers, students and community members and learning about their projects that won REF grants. Following is the list of grants awarded this year – such a great range of projects, disciplines and activities.
