Special Project Funding Program

Announcing
The 2008/2009 Julian Middle School PTO
Fall Round Special Project Funding Program

for requests over $500*

Dear Teachers, Staff and Parents,

Do you have a great idea for a school program? Have you been talking with another teacher about a great but unfunded student opportunity? The Julian Middle School PTO is again able to support a yearly competition for special project funding.

WHO: The Julian PTO will award up to approx. $7,000 in the 2008/09 school year.

WHEN: There will be a Fall/Winter round and Spring round (assuming available remaining funds) of funding. The deadline for the Fall/Winter round of requests is November 14, 2008.

COMMITTEE: Proposals will be reviewed by the PTO Budget Committee, Treasurer, PTO Co-Presidents, and Principal Dr. Sharts. Final approval of recommended proposals will be by the full PTO at the December 1 meeting.

WHERE: Proposals should be dropped off in the PTO Treasurer’s mailbox in the Julian main office.

WHAT: Project funding must be expended before the last day of the school year.

Requests should keep in the mind the Julian PTO Mission Statement:

• To promote the welfare of youth in home, school, and community
• To bring into closer relationship the home and school, that parents and teachers may cooperate intelligently in the education of youth
• To develop united efforts between educators and the general public, that will secure for all youth the highest advantages in mental, physical, and social education.

Please see the Special Project Funding Request form for the kinds of information you will need to provide about any project you are proposing.

QUESTIONS: Contact the PTO Co-President Robin Bush (708-383-2810 or bushrobin@hotmail.com)

We look forward to hearing your great ideas!

Sincerely,

Your Julian Middle School PTO Executive Board
