Please do your part to support our school!

The Imagine Campaign is the largest fundraising activity each year at Grant TK-8. We ask every family to contribute as they are able. Community donations pay the salaries of two awesome Grant K8 teachers, and  provide programs in science, technology, engineering and art that would not exist without your support.

We are half way through our participation drive!

25% of our families have already given. Our goal is 100%

1st place is Ms Brandt’s class

2nd place is a 3-way tie between Ms Anthony, Ms Hurdle and Ms Wilson’s classes

Thank you to everyone that has already given!  We are off to a wonderful start but still have a long way to go to raise the $80,000 necessary to pay for our science and art teachers.  The district does not pay for these positions.  They are 100% funded by OUR Grant TK8 community.

How your donations are spent

 If the Imaging Campaign raises more than is needed to pay for our community funded teachers the Grant Community Foundation distributes these funds - along with the money raised by the awesome annual Mission Hills 5K, to projects with a particular focus on science, technology, engineering, art and maths (STEAM), Examples of recent purchases include: 

 

  • Equipment for our school music program - orchestra and bands
  • Travel and registration for 3 teachers to attend workshops at the California Science Teachers Conference in Pasadena
  • Equipment and supplies for the Grant K8 Family STEAM night
  • Replacement microscopes and a new fridge for the elementary science lab
  • Lego (Duplo) for 1st grade engineering
  • Live plants and critters for elementary grades science lessons
  • Dead critters for middle school dissection
  • Science assemblies for 1st. 3rd and 4th grades
  • Equipment for outdoor/garden science lab (compost bins etc.)
  • Support for the Grant Geckos Science Olymiad team and the Grant First Lego League Teams
  • Blue bins for food collection for the CAN engineering challenge/food drive
  • Materials and paint so that Grant students could create banners for the Mission Hills banner contest

 In the 2019/2020 school year our community  raised more than $83,000 for STEAM programming at Grant. We had 72% participation at the elementary school level and 27% participation at the middle school level. 


12 classes had 75% participation or more and won ice cream parties. The list of winning classes is: Averitt, Brandt, Caparell, Carroll, Crawford, Flanders, Harris, Kidder, Lovern, Silva, Steinberg & Wilson
