Grants Awarded
The Rockwood School District does a great job of providing resources for our school. However, our teachers and staff are always in need of new items to supplement their curriculum, enhance student learning, provide additional safety in the classroom, and provide extra incentives for their students. These additional efforts are what make RVMS the great school it is.
Each year, 100% of your Castle Campaign donations goes to supporting activities and events for the school, students, and staff. Approximately 3% of that donation is allocated to teacher and staff grants.
The grant committee collaborates with the school administration in the fall and winter to review teacher and staff grant applications. Prior to approving the grant applications, teacher and staff needs are evaluated and aligned with available school and district resources.
After grant review and approval by the PSO, the funds are then transferred to the school and awarded to the teachers and staff, enabling them to fulfill their needs.
