Enhancement Grant Program
One of the ways the PTO contributes to the AAS community is via our Enhancement Grant Program. Any member of the AAS community (student, teacher, parent, staff) may submit their ideas for projects that enhance existing programs or facilities at AAS. Enhancement Grants can fund innovations or pilot programs, which if successful will be taken over by the School. Enhancement Grants might bring guests to contribute to the school or purchase equipment for classrooms or activities. And so much more.
Projects eligible for consideration should:
a) Enhance existing programs and facilities
b) Be consistent with AAS goals and philosophy
c) Be practical and feasible
d) Not cover items included in the school budget.
2018-2019 Enhancement Grant Program
The Enhancement Grant Program is now open. We will be accepting applications until February 24, 2019.
We value your input!
The PTO Membership votes to approve or decline the eligible proposals. This is generally done via e-voting to ensure that as many PTO members as possible have an opportunity to participate in the decision-making. We deeply value your input on how PTO funding should be used and encourage you to take part in these votes.
