PTA Grant Announcement – Larimore Elementary PTA

Missouri PTA is pleased to announce Larimore Elementary PTA (Hazelwood School District) is a recipient of a PTA COVID Relief Funding Phase One Grant. The funding is made possible by PTA Proud National Sponsors TikTok, Google, Bayer Fund, Mathnasium and Life360.

“COVID-19 has presented many challenges for families and schools. Now more than ever, PTAs nationwide are working hard to ensure our students, families and educators are safe, healthy and have what they need—focusing on social and emotional wellbeing, resources for distance teaching and learning, bridging the digital divide and addressing food insecurity,” said Leslie Boggs, president of National PTA.

The 1st round of relief funding was a direct invite to PTAs who were actively working towards School of Excellence recognition during the 2019-2020 school year. Larimore PTA will receive $5,000 to support their work to meet the most pressing needs of their school community during the ongoing pandemic. 

Phase Two funding is now open nationally to all local and District/Council/Region PTAs. Applications can be submitted through our grants portal from June 1 – July 12th. https://www.pta.org/home/run-your-pta/Awards-Grants/covid-19-relief

In addition to providing the funding to PTAs and school communities, National PTA launched a comprehensive webpage at PTA.org/COVID-19 with resources, tools and information to support families and educators amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Further, National PTA has been advocating for access and support for families and schools for online learning, access to school meals, funding for family engagement, and fiscal and policy relief for state and local education agencies.
