Hudson’s Bay — Fort Vancouver National Trust received a $5,019 grant from the Vancouver Energy Community Fund, a charitable arm of the Community Foundation for Southwest Washington. The money will go to Pearson Field Education Center’s science, technology, engineering and math-based aviation education programs to purchase model airplane and toolbox kits to teach students metalwork and the skills needed to build a full-sized kit airplane. “This project will teach important safety skills and introduce students to the proper use of flush cutters, metal files, vices, needle-nosed pliers, and rivet guns,” Pearson Field Education Center Director Garrett Schmidt said in a release from the trust.
