Teacher Grants

The task of the excellent teacher is to stimulate "apparently ordinary" people to unusual effort. The tough problem is not in identifying winners: it is in making winners out of ordinary people.

HBHS PTSA GRANT PROGRAM  The HBHS PTSA is pleased to announce its Grant Program—available to administrators, teachers and staff who are members of PTSA. The PTSA supports programs that improve the learning environment, increase instructional effectiveness and raise the expectations of students and staff.  
Grant Funding Applications (attached) are also available in the PTSA box or can be downloaded from the PTSA website listed below. Collaboration on developing grant requests is encouraged
in order to deliver the greatest possible benefits.

Policies, Guidelines and Criteria:
• Requests must benefit students directly and as many students as possible, must supplement and not supplant what the district normally provides, and must follow all school district requirements for classroom purchases.
• Requests must address high priority needs and must be paid for and implemented during the current school year.
• Grant applications require a separate vote by the PTSA membership.
• Items purchased will belong solely to the school district/site and not the individual teacher, staff member or the PTSA.

Supporting Documents
• If you are purchasing by cash, personal check or credit card, send the PTSA the original paid receipt to receive your reimbursement check.
• If you are purchasing directly from a supplier, send PTSA the invoice for a check made payable to the supplier. After the purchase, send PTSA the original paid invoice.
• If you are purchasing through the district, please send a purchase order copy to PTSA for a check made payable to the District. After the purchase, send PTSA a copy of the paid invoice.

*Please note that we have always had student aid in place in our budget. If a particular student needs assistance in purchasing necessary supplies for his/her own curriculum requirements, we require the student's teacher to make a specific written request on behalf of that student, subject to approval by the school administration for hardship verification. Membership is NOT a criterion in this case.   Due date for Applications: Friday, October 30, 2009 in the PTSA Mailbox
Notification of Awards: Applicants will be notified by letter by the end of March.

Not a member of PTSA yet? It’s easy! Place a check for $15 made payable to HBHS PTSA in the PTSA mailbox. Be sure to write “Membership Dues” in the memo section.
