Cedar Trails PTSA Enrichment Grants

 

Each year, Cedar Trails PTSA awards grant money to non-classroom staff for curriculum enrichment and student educational support. The PTSA holds one grant cycle per year, two if all of the funds are not used in the first round. 

Grants are made possible through generous family donations to our Den Dash Fundraiser. Thank you to all who donate to support our enthusiastic staff and to benefit our students' learning experience while at Cedar Trails.

How to apply for grants? Obtain appropriate Principal approvals and complete the GRANT APPLICATION FORM. 

How are grants selected?  Each proposal will be rated in the following areas:

  • Supporting the school goals of raising the standards of learning.
  • Contribution to academic achievement/program excellence for a significant number of students. Grade level/multi-level proposals are encouraged.
  • An on-going component, where funds will be used for materials or suppliers that can affect both current and future students.

With due diligence, the Enrichment Grant Committee provides a detailed summary of all applications, making recommendations to the PTSA for a vote.

For more information or questions contact Cedar Trails PTSA Grants Chair, Emily Garner..
