The foundation awarded the initial grant to start the Bulldog Club in 2006 to provide students with positive role models, encourage appropriate social skills, build on student interests and strengths and engage students hands-on activities at the end of the school day. One of the students’ favorite projects has been to create a beautiful bench for the auction so that the students also give to their school and community.
