Mini-Grant Program

The PTA offers a mini-grant program for all student support teaching staff. The grants can be used to offset costs for learning opportunities that fit within our magnet theme and mission. All grants require an application, which is then reviewed by PTA leadership and Conn Administration for approval. Grants are awarded in amounts up to $500 per application.
