Mini Grants
The purpose of the Elliott PTO Mini-Grant program is to give educators at Elliott School the opportunity to apply for funds to carry out "special" projects intended to enrich, supplement or complement the curriculum. Grants may be used to improve the intellectual, creative, social, emotional, and/or physical well being of populations served by Elliott Elementary School. It is not intended to provide items, materials, or supplies that normally would or should be included as a school budget or classroom expense. Mini-Grants are intended to fund items, programs, materials that benefit a large group of students/staff. At a minimum, an entire classroom or grade level should benefit from the Mini-Grant. The Mini-Grants are intended for unexpected expenditures. We are funded to give out up to $250.00 at maximum for these costs. They are typically granted for a special one-time purpose. The annual grant deadline is April 30th. One Mini-Grant application per school year per educator is allowed. For unique and special circumstances, please email the PTO board at ernestrelliottpto@gmail.com

The annual application deadline is April 30th. One application per school year per classroom teacher (including specials classes) is allowed.
