"Part of the funds will be used to help create memories for our 6th grade class, which will be leaving us after this June. Our plan is to fund a field day for our 6th graders filled with water stations and team building activities. This year’s class missed out on many social events, as many of our fieldtrips and social activities were cancelled for the past four years due to COVID restrictions. The last time this class went on a field trip was when they were in the 1st grade! The other half of the funds will be used towards lowering yearbook costs. Although we fundraise multiple times a year, it is difficult to raise enough money to lower the yearbooks so that our students can purchase. With no extra funding last year, the school was left with over 50 unpurchased yearbooks, which left the yearbook committee budget at a deficit for the start of this year. However, this year, we will be able to lower the price back down to under $10, which helps our parents and families out if they should decide to purchase a yearbook."

"Rather than disappoint my students because of the financial stress purchasing a yearbook will place on most parents in our community, the Next Generation Grant will help me lower the cost of a yearbook for my special education families who are unable to afford one because the parent has other priorities to take care of first. These grant will allow me to purchase a yearbook for each of my special education students for the 2022-23 school year."
