CMMS PTSA Grants Guidelines and Process
Each year the Cougar Mountain Middle School PTSA awards grant money to teachers and staff for curriculum and student educational support. These grants are made possible from the generous donations the PTSA receives from families. Thank you to all of the families who donated to the PTSA and to all of the enthusiastic teachers who seek to add new enriching material and opportunities to the classrooms for our students.
Our mission is to build a welcoming and inclusive community by supporting students, families and the Cougar Mountain Middle School staff through programming, educational opportunities and advocacy for our students.
GRANT CRITERIA:
CMMS PTSA will consider any item, program, or activity that supports our mission. Grant applications may be submitted by teachers, staff, students, or parents. The Grants Committee will review applications meeting the following minimum criteria:
Does it foster student learning?
Will it have a long-term impact?
Does it strengthen our school community?
