Teacher Grant Application
To all Bellaire High School Staff,
The Bellaire High School PTO is offering additional Teacher Grants this spring.
As most of you are aware, the PTO plays a big part at Bellaire High School, bringing parents, teachers and staff together to benefit the students, the campus, and the entire BHS community. One of the largest items in our budget is for our Teacher Grant Program. These grants - intended to support innovative and creative ideas that provide all of our students with enhanced learning opportunities - have allowed for the upgrade of software and classroom equipment, brought in guest speakers and special instructors, and purchased welding and sewing machines. Despite the title of the program, any and all BHS staff may apply, not just teachers. Since the PTO began funding these grants in 1996, we have awarded over $370,000!
If you have an innovative idea that contributes to enhanced learning opportunities for our students, we encourage you to apply. Grants are awarded up to a maximum amount of $3,000. To apply for a PTO Teacher Grant, you must first be a member of the PTO. It costs only $5 for BHS staff members. When completing your Teacher Grant Application, please remember the following requirements:
Applications can be submitted online here. The deadline to apply is Friday, March 3rd, at midnight. Any questions regarding the Teacher Grant Program can be directed to Gary Zimmerman at glzhouston@aol.com.
Whether you seek to take advantage of this grant program or not, I encourage you to join our PTO and be a part of this worthwhile organization.
Again, welcome back and we hope you all have a productive and rewarding year,
Kent Cantrell
PTO President
