There’s still time to apply for a WEF grant! If you haven’t done so already, check out our website ( https://bit.ly/WEFGrantsInfo ). The page contains the link to the application and additional resources including helpful tips and a budget template. PRINCIPALS - You can ABSOLUTELY apply for a grant that would benefit your building. It has come to our attention that some of our administrators were not aware they were eligible. They most certainly are! Our only rules are that (1) The request meets our funding criteria and (2) The applicant is a School District of Waukesha employee. In the past, we've had administrators (including principals, District departments, etc) successfully apply, as well as support staff. Two years ago, we had a custodial staff member co-write a grant with a teacher for outdoor learning space. As long as the grant writers are employed by the SDW, they are eligible to apply. Hope everyone had a fun St Patrick's Day and has a great Spring Break!
