PTA GRANTS
Welcome to the PTA grant cycle! We are excited to kick off this year’s grant process for Lyon and Pleasant Ridge. Through many fundraising efforts, the PTA is proud to offer teachers funding for programs and materials that will enhance the learning environment at Lyon and Pleasant Ridge. Do you have an idea that will make a difference in the lives of your students? If yes, we encourage you to think creatively and apply for a PTA grant.
Grant Application Process
The PTA Grant Committee will review all requests and contact you for further information if necessary. Grant requests will be evaluated based upon a variety of factors including support of the D34 strategic plan, direct impact to learning, and innovation. Please consider the following guidelines when applying for a grant this year. PTA will not be able to fund any requests for furniture in the classrooms or additional apps for learning on the iPads. If you have a technology related request it will be reviewed by the district prior to approval. The committee will weigh each request with input from the parent community and the school principals.
THIS YEAR'S GRANT CYCLE WILL BEGIN 12/2/24 AND END 1/24/25.

A thank you to the PTA for the new seating area in the Lyon LRC.
"Our previous tiered seating was falling apart and the special-ness of it was wearing off. I am so so happy to report that our new tiered seating, known by the kids as the "squishy stairs" has been installed and it looks and feels fantastic! The kids absolutely love it! They were so excited and have been using it to not only better see and engage with the stories and lessons that I do in the LRC, but also to read and engage with each other. Thank you so much to our fantastic PTA. We are so grateful!!"
Sincerely,
Mary Hoyland and ALL the readers of Lyon School
