Summary: This project will fund approximately 10-12 teachers grants to provide materials for their classroom based on their grant request
Our club members will work closely with the teachers at Rea Elementary, Wilson Elementary and Pomona Elementary (Newport-Mesa Unfired School District) to explain this program and the application process for the teacher grants at the beginning of the school year in 2025-2026. a grant application will be provided to our club by each teacher applying for a grant that identifies the project materials they wish to request funding for. Applications will spell out how the funds will be used, how the students will benefit, and the anticipated timeline for the projects. Teacher grants are used for books, puzzles, playground equipment, musical instruments, gardening supplies etc. The only limit on these grants is the teacher's imagination! Both the teachers AND their students benefit from this project for years to come! Upon completion of these grants, we will invite the teachers to one of our club meetings in April 2026 to share their projects with the club
