Grants
The J-H PTA is proud to offer Teacher Grants. Please do not purchase before your grant request is approved, as we cannot guarantee approval of all requests! If you're a teacher, you can download the grant request form here.
We prioritize requests that will be used to enhance and support classroom instruction and student engagement. In the past, the PTA has approved grants for vocabulary journals, software subscriptions, shin guards, books, fidget toys, music for the band, and more!
Email the PTA Treasurer at treasurer.jh.pta@gmail.com for more information.
To donate to this program, please use our Venmo or PayPal links and note "Teacher Grants".
The Rejuvenator
The Rejuvenator Cart is a big hit with our teachers! Throughout the year one of our dedicated parents loads up the Rejuvenator with snacks and drinks to hand out to our hardworking teachers. If you want to donate to this effort, please use our Venmo or PayPal links and note "Rejuvenator". One hundred dollars sponsors a fully-loaded cart (and gets your name or business name on the cart's signage), but any donation helps tremendously!
