Lend
a Hand to Education �
Teacher
Mini-Grants help
Petaluma
students
The
Lend
a Hand to Education program was
initiated during Petaluma Valley Rotary�s
2003-2004 year. We surveyed the needs of
youth and education in our community, and
found that school budgets were so tight that
teachers often dig into their own pockets to
provide classroom materials for students.
These needs are even more critical today.
The
program�s primary and only purpose is to
raise funds for
Petaluma
school teacher mini-grants of up to $200
each. Over the past six years, Rotary's Lend
a Hand to Education
has given nearly $60,000 in grants to
Petaluma
teachers, grades K through 12.
A total of $12.759 was donated for
the 2009-10 school year, funding 68 projects
in 24 Petaluma
schools.
The
three
Rotary clubs in Petaluma receive over 100
applications each year for Lend of Hand to Education
teacher
grants. Projects include providing library
books, math learning cards, and writing
skill materials,
as well as field trips, machine shop parts,
welding helmets, binoculars,
science lab equipment, biology and botany
slides, sports medicine materials, art
supplies, musical scores for student
performance, world globes and maps, etc.
In
order to fund the maximum number of
requests, Petaluma Valley Rotary seeks
corporate and community donations � and we
see an outpouring of support from local
residents, businesses and Rotarians wishing
to help the schools fund these unique
educational projects.
We appreciate
the cooperative efforts of the Rotary Clubs of Petaluma Sunrise
, Petaluma and Petaluma Valley to support
the education of our youth.
