Each spring, Canyon Creek PTA awards grants through our Gift to School program to pay for materials, activities or projects that are aligned with our mission statement and goals. This year, we were able to award $13,000 in grants across our school community!

Grants awarded this year:

• RazKids for K-3 and mid-level classrooms
• iXL for 4th grade and mid-level classrooms
• STEM books for Kindergarten classrooms
• 3 Handwriting support kits for use in Kindergarten classrooms
• Alternative seating options for the learning center
• PebbleGo and PebbleNext database subscriptions for the Canyon Creek Library
• A mural to celebrate Canyon Creek's 40th anniversary
• Country books and tri-fold boards to support next year's 3rd grade Heritage projects
• A new marimba and tuition for two adults to learn marimba building

We had $25,500 in requests this year and a budget of $13,000, so there were some definite choices that had to be made. Many thanks to those who served on this year's Gift to School Committee members, including Kate Bradshaw, Tess Davis, Bruce Denton, Deanna Watson, and Robin Zaback.

And MANY THANKS to all of our supporters! It is through YOUR donations and support of PTA that we are able to fund these grants. THANK YOU!!!
