Opportunity Bank Supports Student Creativity Through Helena Education Foundation Spark Grant
October 30, 2025
President and CEO Laura Clark and Chief Operating Officer
Darryl Rensmon recently joined Helena High School Principal Brian Kessler, and Helena
Education Foundation Executive Director Becca Leaphart to present a $500 Spark Grant
to HHS teacher Mr. Scruggs to fund the purchase of a new portable sound board.
The sound board will serve as a vital tool for student-led
events such as talent shows, open mic lunches, and outdoor performances, creating
more opportunities for students to express themselves and build confidence
through the arts.
The Spark Grant program, administered by the Helena
Education Foundation, empowers educators to bring creative and impactful ideas
to life in the classroom and beyond. Opportunity Bank is honored to play a role
in fostering innovation and student engagement in Montana schools.
