We are very pleased to award our March 2026 grant to students at Humboldt High School. The grant will support their afterschool Dungeons and Dragons Club.

Their teacher/advisor says, “If you have not seen students stretch their imaginations and apply their understanding of Math and English through live-action role-playing, it is truly an awesome sight to behold.

“Students have recently started up an after-school Dungeons & Dragons club at Humboldt High School. It is a student-led club that takes place in my classroom every Thursday afternoon.

Years ago, there was a D&D club. We had a staff member that had a bunch of supplies, we had a bunch of students who participated in it. The staff member left (and took his personal supplies with him). The older students graduated, and COVID interfered with the transition of new students into the fold.

This new group is a delightful ragtag bunch of students, and for most of them, this is their only interaction with the school outside of the school day. It is a nice diverse mix of students from all grades in high school. Some of the most energetic and enthusiastic students are the younger ones, so this has the potential to run for many years. Other official clubs and sports have nice equipment. They have funds for supplies and resources. This club has a lot of moxie and imagination, but not a lot outside of that.

I am applying for a grant to fund the Humboldt D&D club in order to pay for basic supplies to show appreciation for those students who put forth the effort to restart this club, and to hopefully make this an on-going club to offer for years to come to give a home at school for those students who don't fit into the other clubs.”
