Spring 2021 Staff Grants

Recognizing that needs (and great ideas!) can arise throughout the year (especially in challenging years), the general membership voted to offer Canyon Creek Elementary staff grants of up to $75.00 per staff member to support innovative curriculum, ideas, and programs that align with the mission statement of the PTA.

Thanks to our membership vote, we are pleased to have been able to offer grants to our hard working staff. Thanks to donations and sponsorships this year, we were able to fund 39 staff grants totaling $2,798.36 which directly support our students’ learning!
