We have once again set aside up to $10,000 of this fiscal year's PTA reserves for grants to all teachers of K-5. The grants will be offered for enrichment activities which will strengthen, broaden, or deepen the children’s understanding of material that will be covered in the classrooms.
Grants will be for a maximum of $2,000 for a collaborative grade level program with lesser amounts approved where fewer students are involved. Grants should be inclusive and not limited to a subset of students within a class or grade level. Grant money will not be available for facilities improvement, permanent fixtures, hardware, or core curriculum provided by the District. Proposals can be submitted in writing by hard copy or by e-mail to the PTA President (foxmeadowpta@gmail.com) with the prior sign-off of the Principal. The PTA President will submit each proposal to the PTA Executive Board.
Proposals ideally should be one page but no longer than 2 pages and should follow the format below:
2012-2013 Grant Proposal Request
Date: Submitter(s):
Overview of professional staff members participating and their roles
Amount of money being requested and how it will be spent
