Mini Grants Request Form
​
The Henderson PTO Mini Grant program is designed to help enhance and extend classroom instruction and after school club activity by providing funding. Max grants $500
Mini grant activities should be innovative in nature and go beyond the scope of what is normally provided through curricular goals and objectives. These are projects not typically funded by the district, All projects should have as their final objective a positive effect upon student learning.

​
Mini-Grant Guidelines:
1. Grants must be used for the direct benefit of the students.
2. For calculating purposes use a general guide of a maximum of $30 per student. Review, approval and final funding amount decisions
are determined by the PTO Executive Board using these
guidelines.
3. There is a $500 maximum grant amount per team/club per year
with exceptions for progression to National events.
4. Grants are not provided to cover WCASD expenses. (e.g. Teacher
in-service day speakers, books, software).
5. All funding for transportation and electronic purchases will be
made to WCASD directly to ensure proper 3 rd party vendor
payment control.
Note: Hardship funding requests for students should continue to be
submitted using this form to the PTO for evaluation through the
Philanthropy fund.

Reason for request
The FCS dept. at Henderson is very excited to have added another Foods class this year! As the budget will be staying the same as last year, though, we ask for a little help to make our dollar stretch further! One of my goals for students this year in my Foods classes is to develop units around Problem Based Learning. Two projects that will most likely be more expensive than my budget might allot for are cheese making (takes one week; students learn about the scientific process of cheesemaking, watch teacher demo, make mozzarella and ricotta, and then use that to make a baked pasta dish) and deceptively delicious kid-friendly meals.
