Teacher Grant Applications for the 2023-24 school year are now open through Friday, September 1.
The types of grants approved will vary from year to year depending upon the available funds, and the other grant requests being considered at the time. Generally, projects most likely to be funded are those that benefit a large amount of students for years to come (at least one classroom), and support or enhance the core curriculum or subject matter. Creative projects usually take precedence over more mundane requests. We have, on occasion, funded a full grade (3-4 teachers in the amount of $1500-$2000 where they have gone together in their request, so this is also possible).
Projects funded in the past include:
- Supplies/equipment for science experiments
- Art supplies
- Musical instruments
- Social Studies projects
- Math manipulatives
- Learning games and activites
- Field trips
- Assemblies
- PE equipment
Projects usually NOT funded include:
- Classroom items generally provided by the schools such as desks, tables, and textbooks
- Library books
- Electronics such as iPads, computers, cameras, and smart boards
- Consumable items such as rewards, prizes, food, or magazines
- Special Education products that should be taken care of through the Special Education program
