What are BIGrants?
The Center Grove PTO has made PTO funds available for teachers and staff to apply to request the purchase of needed instruction-related activities and supplies that benefit Center Grove students.

Who can apply for these funds?
Any CG Staff member who is a current Center Grove PTO Member and has an idea that will enhance the educational experience of their students. Teachers may apply on an individual basis, or as a group of teachers.  Teachers of special subjects may also apply.

When can I apply?
You can apply anytime between September 1st through November 1st.  Applications will be reviewed and considered by the PTO Executive Board, unless the grant is time sensitive. 
What can these funds be used for?
  • New materials that enhance an existing curriculum.
  • Project materials that would be new to a class/grade.
  • Professional development that supports building or grade level goals.  (Requests for professional development must be accompanied by a letter or email of support from Principal Rodas.)
    ​
​Note: These funds cannot be used to purchase curriculum materials that should be purchased through the regular school budget process.
