Bais Rivkah Announces $25K Grant Competition Finalists

By COLlive reporter

Five finalists were chosen in Bais Rivkah School’s Chinuch Tank Competition, launched a few weeks ago.

The Chinuch Tank is an innovative new competition to improve our girls’ chinuch.

Teachers had the opportunity to present ideas on how they would use $25,000 to improve the school. Five finalists were selected by a panel of independent judges (not Bais Rivkah staff), and they will present their ideas at the upcoming Embrace Live Bais Rivkah grand alumnae reunion.

Participants will vote on what they think is the best idea and should be chosen as the winner.

Thanks to a generous sponsor, the winning teacher will receive a $1,000 prize and $25,000 to implement her plan.
