Teacher Grants
Each school year the UMS Home & School Club budgets Teacher Grand funds for special classroom and school projects. Teachers are typically offered the opportunity to submit grant requests in the fall.

Grant Guidelines
Grant requests ideally have these characteristics:
  • Benefit students this year
  • Benefit the most number of students possible
  • Provide students with additional experiences, resources, and opportunities not otherwise covered by other school programs
  • Support the most number of teachers to provide the most unique and creative opportunities
  • Provide the most bang for the buck
These grants are an opportunity for teachers to share their insights into what would benefit their students.  We find many grants support teacher creativity in approaches to educating students.  

Here are some some examples of grants we've awarded in the past:
  • Leadership - California Association of Student Leaders Conference
  • Bean bag chairs for several classrooms
  • Mouse Squad - radios, batteries, and chargers
  • 6th grade ELA/SS - Mr. Nicky's World History program; Ancient Artifacts China
  • 7th and 8th ELA - Books for classroom libraries
  • Band students - JW Pepper sheet music
  • PE - Wireless hands-free headset system
  • 6th grade SNAP (science night)
  • Health and Fitness Class - Yoga Teacher Certification 
  • Cooking Class - 2nd refrigerator and two microwave ovens
