We are so grateful to all of the teachers who submitted their creative and innovative ideas to the Chinuch Tank. Congratulations to the five finalists who were selected by our panel of independent judges (not Bais Rivkah staff). The finalists will present their ideas at the upcoming Embrace Live (purchase your tickets here) and audience members will get to vote on which idea wins.
The Chinuch Tank winner will receive a $1000 cash prize and $25,000 to implement the idea in school. Be sure to reserve your spot at Embrace Live for your chance to impact the future of chinuch at Bais Rivkah.
