Something to shoot for next year!
Q: We would like to apply for the Large Toolbox grant for up to $100,000. How do we do that?
A: A special fund has been designated for parent group initiated improvement projects at public schools or school districts. Grants from $50,000 to $100,000 are available for a variety of school improvement projects at K-12 public schools such as, but not limited to, landscaping and grounds improvement, library or media center enhancement, science or specialty lab creation or upgrade, or parent education programs. All schools or districts applying for the Large Toolbox grant MUST apply online directly via the Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation (LCEF) website. Review the introductory LCEF information and follow the "Continue" prompts at the bottom of each page until you come to the beginning of the application. Please note: In the project title blank, "Your Project Information", make sure you type "Large Toolbox for Education School request" AND your project title in this field. Again, grant requests from large schools or districts must be made online through the Charitable and Educational Foundation, NOT the Toolbox website. Completed applications must be received no later than February 10, 2012.

It's too late for this year, but maybe if we have our ducks in a row for next year, we could make a solid application!

There are a plethora of grants that we will be eligible for next year. Now that the wheels are in motion, I truly believe we will be able to receive enough funding to make a difference. Go Pandas!
