Gender Identity and What it Means to Our Children - Wednesday,10/17 @ 7:00 PM, Mitchell Elementary
Gender identity, the gender spectrum, gender variance and gender expression may be a few terms you’ve heard or read about lately. This is a current and important topic of relevance to all parents and educators. Attendees will gain familiarity with gender based terminology and concepts as well as to understand how to approach the topic at home or in the classroom. Please join us for an informative and interactive evening with experts in the field of gender identity, including Jeff Perotti, founding director of the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education’s Safe Schools Program for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, and Questioning Students. Free and open to the community! Please register at: http://www.parenttalk.info/offerings/lecture-series.php |
PTC Bring Your ideas! NEF Accepting Fall ’18 Grant Applications
The Needham Education Foundation is now accepting applications for small, large, and multi-school grants. All applications are due by Tuesday, October 23, 2018. Small grants fund projects up to $5,000 (or $3,000 per school for multi-school grants) and large grants fund projects up to $15,000. This is the first year the NEF is accepting all types of grant applications throughout the year. The next deadlines will be January 22, 2019 and March 19, 2019. The NEF continues to offer two additional options to ease the small grant application process: Express Grants allow applicants to apply for a program already funded by the NEF at another school; Multi-School Grants allow schools to apply together without the constraints of the small grant funding limit. Any Needham Public School educator, administrator or community member — including students and parents — is eligible to apply. Contact your NEF school rep (found on our website) if you have any questions or would like guidance. To see what the NEF has funded in the past and to apply online, please visit http://www.nefneedham.org/grants/. |
