Field Trips
1. Check the calendar to make sure there is not a conflict with the date and time you are planning.
2. Work with Laurie on transportation needs and admission fees well ahead of time and be cautious on how much we are asking our students and families to contribute.
3. Make sure you have worked with the food service team if your field trip has you gone during your lunch period.
Thank you for remembering these things as you are planning field trips this spring.
District 279 Foundation Grants
District 279 Foundation offers several classroom grants throughout the year for innovative and creative projects that enhance the curriculum or provide performance or social development opportunities. Any district employee, school organization, or school volunteer may submit a grant proposal. Grants are competitive and judged on uniqueness, quality, need, and effectiveness. Grants have ranged from 24 cents to $125 per student served with the typical grant being awarded at around $2,500. The deadline for the next grant submission is April 11. I'm available to help brainstorm or work with you on a District 279 Foundation grant request.
