GRANT PROCESS BEGINS EARLY THIS YEAR!Vertical Divider

Congrats to all of LAST years grant recipients! |
THIS YEAR NEED SPLITS ALL PROCEEDS WITH THE JCS/LGN/HAY ART DEPARTMENTS! With a grand total of $5,355, NEED is able to give half to the art departments! NPS art departments are sadly underfunded, they are one of the classes that students are required to take that uses the most consumables. Art teachers shouldn't have to constantly be buying crayons, paint, clay, paper, markers, etc out of their own pockets. NEED is thrilled to have been able to take part in this fundraiser to benefit these art departments. We are excited to announce that Square1 Art will be back again next year and better than ever! Share some of your student's art with us on our facebook or twitter pages!

This year, NEED's volunteer members Beth Blakeley (left) and Gina Heaney (right) announced at the staff meeting that we are coordinating our grant process with the timing of the School Budget process, which will begin in September. All NPS staff members will receive an email containing a link to the grant application during the beginning of the second week of September. We are excited to see the many great requests that come our way. DEADLINE FOR ALL GRANTS IS OCTOBER, 15th. Thanks to Karen Winsper for taking these photos of the presentation.

For a detailed list including costs, visit our Grant Recipients page. NEED would like to take this opportunity to thank the Norton Middle School, Henri A. Yelle School and the Joseph C. Solmonese School Parent Boards for their generous help in funding the grants from their schools. We had far fewer fundraising opportunities this year by moving our grant cycle up to January from June. We truly could not have funded so many of these innovative and creative ideas if we didn't have this help from the amazing parent boards.
