It is the mission of the Moorlands Elementary PTA to foster community inclusion, child advocacy and academic excellence by facilitating communications, supporting students, teachers and staff, and enhancing the educational, social and physical environment of Moorlands Elementary School. Our focus for the 2021-2022 school year will be increasing community connections and helping kids reconnect after a year away.

Moorlands PTA welcomes grant requests from the staff and parents of Moorlands Elementary. Our purpose is to help fund programs and events for students. The PTA funds grants for educational and enrichment programs affecting a large number of students both school and classroom wide. Funds should not be used for individuals except in the case of scholarship. Funds are limited and availability may vary from year to year. The Moorlands PTA executive board will review applications prior to them being voted on at a general meeting. Grant applicants should be prepared to answer questions during this review process and at the general meeting.

Applications may be granted fully, asked to be re-written, be partially funded, put on hold or denied. Incomplete forms or forms without approval signatures will not be accepted. Funds are granted based on a one-year commitment only. Applications must be re-submitted each year and will be subject to funding availability and goals of the current board. Grant applications must address at least one of our PTA’s identified areas of focus as stated in our Mission Statement above. Items purchased by the Moorlands PTA must remain on school property should the teacher become employed elsewhere. Teachers are encouraged to make arrangements to send information to the  PTA to share success of item/program.

Grants will be evaluated on the following criteria:

  1. In line with the mission statement and goals.

  2. Is funding available or earmarked for other programs.

  3. Has similar program been funded this year.

  4. Is it timely to spend funds now – is the need more immediate than others

  5. Number of students affected.

  6. Consideration of other sources of revenue.
