| A LEADER IS NEEDED FOR THE GRANTS COMMITTEE | | Would you like to be more involved at Muraco?! MESPA needs someone to head our "Grants" Committee! Grants are an invaluable source of funding for Muraco, and pay for everything from supplemental enrichment materials and supplies, to teacher training for special programs. There are many grants out there that we could qualify for and benefit from, but we need a dedicated parent or team of parents to locate and apply for them! This is a great post for someone who wants to be involved, but needs flexibility! If you are interested, please contact Christine Lowenstein (christinelowenstein-at-verizon.net) or Jenny Nordan (jennynordan-at-gmail.com). |
| GOOD EGG PROJECT GRANT AWARDED TO MURACO | | Muraco School was awarded the
Good Egg Project: Back to Breakfast Challenge Grant from Scholastic and the American Egg Board. With that grant we are going to be able to pilot a small breakfast program that will teach children about the benefits of breakfast and overall good nutrition. We will be cooking fresh food every week, which brings us to our need. We need an apartment sized or larger refrigerator. If you are "trading up" your home refrigerator, please
consider donating your old one to Muraco. Just contact Brenda Turney in
the fifth grade or the office. |
