Due to hospital shortages during the coronavirus pandemic, CREC Schools are utilizing their 3D printers to make Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for hospitals in the region. 3D-printed items include face shields, face mask straps, and face shield pieces.

Students and staff at CREC Discovery Academy in Wethersfield successfully created a Certified Schoolyard Habitat® in the butterfly garden outside their school. The National Wildlife Federation (NWF), America’s largest wildlife conservation and education organization, approved the recognition through their Garden for Wildlife program, officially on October 8.
