Grant Board Report  Tonna Powers    As the first year as Grant Implementer comes to a close, I have learned a great deal.  I have maintained  current grants, researched new grants and helped to assist with other grant writing.   The following grants  were currently in place when I began my duties in this position:    AASA Breakfast Grant  The valuable Breakfast model was fully implemented, district-wide, during the 2015-2016 school year.  In  addition to the existing program, the high school implemented a Second Chance breakfast opportunity for  students who were unable to participate during the Grab & Go Breakfast offered before school.  Some of  these students ride a bus that arrives right before the tardy bell.  Other students participate in band and  sports practices that do not allow time for students to participate in the morning breakfast opportunity.  This additional breakfast  opportunity for students has resulted in a significant increase in participation at  the high school.     In October, Shelly Johnson attended the National AASA meeting in New Orleans where she presented a  “snapshot” of Neosho’s successful breakfast program through storytelling.  Mrs. Widener’s 4th grade  students (at Benton Elementary) wrote narratives about how the Breakfast program has impacted their  lives and academics.  The link below will direct you to that presentation.  AASA Breakfast Program Presentation for Neosho     The Breakfast program funds are sufficient to provide breakfast for the remainder of the school year.  After this year, the grant funds will end.  The program has proven to be highly effective for Neosho  students.  Insomuch that other school districts have traveled to observe the different breakfast models  Neosho provides in hopes of beginning their own breakfast program.    Coover Charitable Foundation Grant    The Coover Charitable Foundation awarded $10,000 to Neosho in February of 2016 for the developing  and sustaining of a transition skills facility.  At the time, The Holloway House, was functioning on a limited  budget and donations made by the community.   The Holloway House serves to help students meet their  goals of transitioning from school to society with real life skills and experiences.      The grant funds allowed for the purchase of a great deal of useful resources for the students.  These  resources include a washer, dryer, lawn mower, kitchen table, various house furniture, dinnerware,  personal hygiene supplies, ipad minis and other working materials.  With these items, students were given  opportunities to practice life skills such as washing and folding laundry, setting a proper dinner table,  cooking meals and aspects of house cleaning.    As the grant implementer, I organized and recorded the purchases according to grant requirements.  All  items were required to be identified within the proposed grant budget.  At the end of the grant funding  period, we were required to submit a Grant Progress Report to confirm spending of funds within the  application.  This grant report was completed and submitted in February 2017.      Dolly Parton Imagination Library  These grant funds are sufficient to supply books to our enrolled children, ages 0-5 years, through May  2017.  

    Lowe’s Playground grant  The Lowe’s charitable and Educational Foundation awarded the Neosho Middle School $25,000 for their  Energy Zone project.  This project was intended to increase physical activity for the middle school  students by increasing the number of outside play structures.  Dr. Ford, the Lowe’s representative and I  met several times in the fall to determine structures that would be engaging, exciting and age appropriate  for these students.  We had set a time frame and marked locations for the playground project.  The  project was postponed due to the discussion of whether or not the district would transform the middle  school to a K-6 facility.  At this time, the current building administration is determining how to proceed  with the project plans.  We have until April of 2018 to utilize all funds.    Grants written:  Within the past year, I have written the following grants:  I submitted a grant to the Neosho Charitable  Foundation for the high school PBIS committee to help the the startup of the PRIDE time coffee shop.  I  submitted a grant application for the Neosho Jr. High and the Project Lead the Way program.  Both grants  were denied.  I also assisted with grants for others.  Upon request, I helped to edit the Follett grant written  by B.J. Baum and the Ag grant written by the high school team of Ag teachers.  I am currently working on  an additional grant opportunity through DESE for the Jr. High’s Project Lead The Way program.     Requested areas:  There have been several staff members ask about grants for certain areas.  These areas include a trap  shooting program, a teen shelter for Neosho and computers for the computer science program.      Recommendation    If I were to asked to provide a recommendation for grant writing for the Neosho School district, I would  suggest that teachers be encouraged to write grants.  Teachers are the best advocates for writing grants.  Their personal passions for their educational needs can be better expressed through a grant proposal or  grant application.  Some educators in our district may not recognize their ability to effectively write a  grant proposal.  It might be a consideration to offer training for teachers to write grants and offer  incentives, such as PRIDE hours and/or PD hours, for writing grants.
