 The St. Bernadette Home and School Association has launched a new program, Learning without Limits! This program was established to provide our teaching staff with the resources that they need to enrich and to support the learning environments of our students.
At the beginning of the school year, each teacher has the opportunity to submit up to three project proposals, including a brief description of what they need, why they need it, and the total cost for each project. The Home and School Association is choosing not to place any limitations on the teaching staff's ideas and creativity, including the amount of money that they can request; therefore, the funds that we may potentially provide will vary from grade to grade and from year to year. Specifically to the projects, we are funding projects that are not otherwise covered by the school or the State; thus, we are the payer of last resort. In addition, all project proposals must be approved by our Principal, Ms. Eltringham, prior to proposal submission.
What are some examples of potential project proposals?
