Each year some of your PTSA dollars go toward helping teachers get additional supplies and equipment that they’d have to do without otherwise. This year just under $9000 was awarded to over 30 teachers who asked for grants ranging from $85 to $1570. The average request was $272. Your PTSA membership makes a real difference in the education your children receive.
See the complete list after the jump.
