Over $24,000 was spent on Enrichments Grants in 2017-2018. Some of the highlights included:
- Gaga ball pit flooring
- $3,000+ in literacy support
- Screenagers viewing
- Author visits
- Binoculars, scopes, and trail cameras
- Occupational sensory tools and occupational classroom seating
EVENTS IN 2018-2019
We will host over 15 events in the 2018-2019 school year, including New Student Orientation, Fall Festival and Bonfire, Cultural Festival, Game Night, Teacher Appreciation Luncheon, Special Person's Table, the Auction and more! All of these events help strengthen and connect our community.
SCHOOL WIDE ACTIVITIES
The PTF supports Blanchard's scheduled school-wide activities like Outdoor Day and Field Day by coordinating parent volunteers, funding specialists (from naturalists and nature walks to entertainment), and often purchasing and serving snacks. Efforts are routinely made to enrich these activities and events that touch our student body directly.
GRANTS IN ACTION
GRANTS
The Blanchard Memorial School PTF Grants/Enrichment Process is a method by which the PTF funds can be awarded to support projects or materials not funded in the Blanchard PTF Operating Budget that enrich the learning environment of the Blanchard Memorial School community.
Any Blanchard community members (parents, staff, teachers) are invited to apply for Blanchard PTF grants; often parents and teachers collaborate on grants, or multiple teachers can apply together.
