Alpine Bank has generously donated $50,000 to the D51 Foundation to provide grants to D51 teachers, principals, and counselors specifically to be used to support Social Emotional Learning needs.

The D51 Foundation just donated over $18K to outfit six D51 classrooms as "21st Century Digital Classrooms." This is an exciting new way to support in person and remote learning through technology now that we've realized our goal of helping to achieve a 1:1 ratio of students to Chromebooks! Thank you for your support! Our new focus for technology donations will help our students stay competitive by providing cutting edge technology that enhances learning both inside and outside the classroom. As we celebrate our 10th Birthday this year, we invite you to stand with us and consider joining us by making a donation- as little as $10- to support the purchase of more technology in honor of your favorite D51 student. Our funding priorities are technology for students and professional learning for teachers. To join our effort click here.
