Dear Teachers, Administrators, and Resource Persons,
The Granby Elementary PTO is once again pleased to offer the Enhancement of Learning Fund (ELF) for the 2011-2012 school year. ELF's purpose is to provide funding for those items that will enhance your teaching, create engaging classrooms, and provide creative opportunities for student learning. ELF funds can be used to enhance or supplement your current curriculum or can be used to support a creative idea that falls within the guidelines listed below. Please remember that you can apply to ELF as many times as you wish during the school year and that all amounts, large and small, will be considered. The ELF budget for the 2010-2011 school year is $9,000. In order to provide equal opportunities for all three schools, each school will be allotted $3,000 for ELF funding. On April 15th, 2011, all unspent money will go into a pool. At this point Kearns, Kelly, or Wells can use any remaining monies.
ONLINE ELF APPLICATION
Contact elf@granbypto.org with any questions.
ELF money will be distributed according to the guidelines listed below:
Your request should:
- Relate to the curriculum
- Support a creative idea to expand student learning
- Impact as many students as possible
- Not require on-going support
- Not be covered by other funds or budgets
- Not be for field trips, party materials, transportation expenses, or furniture.
- Not include after-school clubs or programs
These items are outside our guidelines
Suggested uses of ELF resources would be such things as funding enrichment materials and purchasing special equipment to expand a curriculum unit.
There are NO DEADLINES for ELF requests, so please fill out the online ELF request form below at any time of the school year.
We look forward to working with you this year and hope to see many great, innovative ideas (large or small) coming our way!
