Pioneer High School PTSO
Mini-Grants Program
The PTSO oversees a grant program to
turn School Store profits into supplementary materials for Pioneer
classroom teachers, school clubs, athletic teams, and staff. 100%
of the store proceeds go to the mini-grants program, made possible by
the hundreds of hours of volunteer labor by school store
volunteers. The granting program is run by a committee made up of
school staff, administrators, and parents. Twice each school year
mini-grant applications are provided to all Pioneer teachers and
coaches.
Decisions are made based on the following guidelines set forth by the
mini-grants committee:
• Those grants directly affecting the academic, social, and emotional
growth of our students will be a priority.
• Consideration will be given to the number of students who will
benefit from the money requested.
• Maximum mini-grant requests are for $450. Any requests for larger
amounts should be made directly to the PTSO.
• Grant monies will not be used to fund personnel, transportation, food
or tickets for events, clothing, uniforms or fundraising activities.
• Funds are available to teachers, athletic groups and school-related
clubs or functions.
• Once an item is approved and purchased, it becomes the property of
Pioneer High School and is to be shared within the department/school.
• Any materials turned in with the application will not be returned.
• Grant requests will not be approved for technology items that would
need to be maintained by the school technology staff.
• When completing your application, include a detailed description of
what the grant money will be used for and how it will benefit students.
• All applications must be filled out completely in black ink or typed.
• We will not consider applications without Dept. Chair signature.
