Staff and Classroom Grants

Grants are an important reason why we fundraise. Each year, if funding is available, Jackson staff members are given the opportunity to apply for a grant. All grants are reviewed by the PTSA Board of Directors and either funded, partiality funded or denied depending on request and funds available.

To apply for a grant, complete our grant application and purchase order request forms and return them to the PTSA mailbox in the Jackson office or email them to the PTSA President, moc.l1711624566iamg@1711624566tnedi1711624566serpa1711624566stpsh1711624566j1711624566.
