RCCF is pleased to announce that the Houghton Lake Middle School (HLMS) has been awarded a $1,600.00 grant to support LEGO Education. This project was supported by the Houghton Lake Educational Fund.

This grants purpose is to provide support to the 7th grade students at Houghton Lake Middle School. Mindy Bode (HLMS Science teacher) says that LEGO Education gives 7th grade students at HLMS the “opportunity to learn simple machines and other STEM activities”. This is critical to their learning because it provides problem solving, comprehension, communication, creativity, and critical thinking skills to the students.

The Roscommon County Community Foundation is excited to announce that it has awarded a $5,000 grant through a donor advised fund to the CRAF Center in Roscommon.

The CRAF Center is home to around 660 members who enjoy the fitness center and activities such as sports leagues, aerobics classes, yoga, self-defense and karate, and much more. Pickleball, one of the fastest growing sports in the nation, is found at the CRAF Center. The court that was previously used for pickleball was so damaged that it hindered play with its worn-out floor and metal plates. But the RCCF funded a new, safer floor for the court that allows for players to enjoy playing pickleball and for the court to be used for other forms of recreation.
