2024-2025 Goals

This marks the fifth year of GHPTO grants have been granted! Past grants have included a SMART board for the library, multiple author visits, a sensory cabinet and a sensory pathway, and many other tools and events. To see what we funded this year, please see the information below.

This year the GHPTO was able to partner with the Germantown Hills Educational Foundation to award more grant funds to teachers.

2024-2025 Education Enhancement Grants:
This year 77% of teachers and staff took advantage of the Education Enhancement Grant which reimburses teachers up to $100 for enhancements and supplies to aid the in teaching and instruction. That is increase of 33% from last year. Additionally, this year, through the support of our families and community, we were able to increase the allocation from the previous levels of 2023-2024, which was a $50 reimbursement. We are happy to be able to commit to the $100 reimbursement amount for 2025-2026.
