During the 2008 - 2009 school year, the PTO will be allocating money earned by fundraising through our grant program. Staff, students, and parents/guardians are all encouraged to apply for funds for their projects. The grant committee will review proposals and recommend appropriate projects to the PTO. The PTO membership will have final approval through a vote of current PTO members. Funding requests will only be considered during the grant periods, as defined below.
Guidelines for Application
• The proposed project must enrich some part of Battle Creek Environmental Magnet School.
• Priority will be given to projects that are:
➢ environmental in nature
➢ multiple-use: can be used more than once by the same class or other students OR
➢ non-consumable: materials or equipment that will not be “used up” by the students
• Funding is up to $2,000? per grant period; requests can be between $25.00 and $_________.
• There are three grant periods: fall, winter and spring (see dates below).
• Submit completed application forms anytime during the grant period—but no later than the announced due date. Applications will not be considered outside of these dates.
