Parent Council awards more than $14K in grants
Loughborough Public School Parent Council has awarded more than 14,000 in funding to benefit school-based projects following a review of grant proposals in November.
LPS teachers and council members were asked to submit proposals for funding back in September. After discussion and a review of the proposals, the following projects have been approved and funded by Parent Council:
- Music Room Refurbishment: purchase of new instruments for music room. Submitted Ms. MacDonald $3,000
- Love for Literacy: purchase of books and other literacy materials for Kindergarten rooms. Submitted by Ms. Lee $3,000

Even with this disbursement of funds, Parent Council holds a reserve of about $5,000. We also hope to raise between $5-10,000 this year through other fundraising opportunities. We will provide updates on these projects as they get under way.
