Nominate Your School for Power a Bright Future Grant & Help Fund School Enrichment Programs!

By

Elementary Classroom

This post is part of a paid campaign.

My baby girl started Prekindergarten this past Monday. Here in Florida they actually call it Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK), and the state funds the program. So, if you properly enroll your child with the state, various local child care centers will provide VPK free of charge 3 hours a day, five days a week. But, even though the state funds the program, I found myself receiving a school supply list from her preschool and having to purchase school supplies. We didn’t mind at all, and of course, it was very exciting for her to get her school supplies and take them to school. After all, starting next year when she starts Kindergarten, I’ll be buying school supplies every year thereafter – so this was good training.

Still, it reminded me of how underfunded the general school system is. Here in Florida, there have been many budget cuts for the Education industry, some that even recently affected the program where just eight months ago I was working full-time. The program no longer exists. I also know that most teachers purchase school supplies for their classrooms and students out of their own pocket. I know this because my mother-in-law is an elementary school teacher in South Florida and she is constantly looking for items at stores for “her kids” and her classroom. And, I think that’s how most teachers feel too – their students are “their kids” and they wholeheartedly embrace their role of educating those kids.

A major way that schools are affected by budget cuts are through critical enrichment programs such as music, arts, and sports. Sadly, many schools have had to cut back on or eliminate such programs. This year, Clorox wishes to help schools by awarding four grants, totaling $110,000, to help fund school programs that will brighten and enrich the lives of kids. Through the Power A Bright Future grant program, Clorox is seeking nominations for schools to win a $50,000 grand-prize grant or one of three $20,000 grants. All you have to do, is visit the Clorox site from August 12 to September 27, 2010 and submit a photo and information about the program in the appropriate category for your idea: Learn, Play or Create. For more information, official rules and to nominate a school program, visit Clorox.

Additional Ways To Help Your School and Children

  • I’m sure this is stuff we all already know, but as a reminder, taking several easy steps can help prevent the spread of germs:
    • Sing and Scrub: Wash hands with warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds (the time it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice).
    • Do the Elbow Cough: Cough and sneeze into your elbow instead of your hands to help prevent the spread of germs by touch.
    • Disinfect Hot Spots: School staff and adults should routinely clean areas that people touch often, like desktops, remote controls and light switches.
  • In addition to nominating a school, there’s also plenty that can be done to support teachers in keeping his or her classroom clean and ready to inspire students. Consider bringing teachers hand sanitizer or canisters of Clorox Disinfecting Wipes to help make clean-up easier. Similar to school supplies, many teachers also provide cleaning supplies at their own expense.

    If I could fund one program at my daughter’s school I would fund a magnet program for talented children of all backgrounds. I think it is just as important to have a special education system for extremely bright kids as it is for those lagging behind.

    Answer to Question #3: My son is starting kindergarten and I know that his school relies heavily on parents to do fundraising (like selling cookies/candy/gifts from a catalog). I was told that state budget cuts have made it so that the teacher’s assistants and busdrivers must be paid their salaries straight from the parents’ fundraising. That puts a lot of pressure on the parents, I think.nnmami2jcn at gmail dot com

    How have state budget cuts affected your childu2019s school? We have had lots of budget cuts here where I live and we are in a small rural community. The cuts have forced to school to lay off their para helpers who were a great help for the children in special ed. I know because they helped teach my daughter how to read. The schools budget is so bad that they were not sure how long they are going to stay opened anymore. nnsweokgr@gmail.com

    3) Actually, the budget cuts in my state (Arizona) have been necessary and welcome. It can sound cold-hearted on the outside to say so, but I think what is often missed is that this money not only returns back to the People which can be used to jump start the economy, but it further empowers local cities and municipalities to better fund *their own* education systems through having more tax revenue, which is far and away a MUCH better use of taxpayer dollars, than at the state level

    We homeschool, but I would only support funding of strictly academic programs as non-academic programs are by far more expensive to support per child than that of the actual out-of-pocket costs a parent would incur privately. This in turn is the main problem in fueling the ever increasing property taxes that many people can no longer afford to pay. Almost, like the government paying $700 for a screwdriver. Public school spending is definitely out of control, and that’s an issue that needs to be addressed and corrected before more money is thrown at these programs/courses.

Public school spending is definitely out of control, and that’s an issue that needs to be addressed and corrected before more money is thrown at these programs/courses.

  608. Denise B. says

    We homeschool, but I would only support funding of strictly academic programs as non-academic programs are by far more expensive to support per child than that of the actual out-of-pocket costs a parent would incur privately. This in turn is the main problem in fueling the ever increasing property taxes that many people can no longer afford to pay. Almost, like the government paying $700 for a screwdriver. Public school spending is definitely out of control, and that’s an issue that needs to be addressed and corrected before more money is thrown at these programs/courses.

    I think we do help keeping a healthier school – our school supply lists include disinfecting wipes, hand sanitizer, kleenex and more. it’s important to promote cleanliness and good hygiene at home, and that will help while the kids are in school, too.

    Budget cuts have changed the starting times for all schools here. Elementary schools start earlier so that the buses can make 2 trips, one for elementary and one for middle schools, who don’t start until 9 am. My granddaughter in 3rd grade gets out at 2:30 now. A lot of parents have had to make changes in after school day care.

    My daughter’s after-school activities are limited; the school just doesn’t have the funds for after-school clubs or even sports. I’d love to have my daughter involved in more academic after-school programs to give her a boost for high school. She’s interested in learning a 2nd language and I’d love to see a Spanish program or a sign language program. I’d love an after-school home ec club; she’s very interested in baking and cooking now and it would be a great club for the student so join; $50,000 would outfit a nice home ec room in their school basement.nnshel704 at aol dot com

    I have already purchased 3 boxes of Kleenex and 6 tubs of lysol clean ups along with a large bottle of hand sanitizer for each of my kids teachers – I think I am doing a good job helping to prevent illnesses in the classroom!

    If I had $50,000 to fund one program, it would be an art program with plenty of supplies of all types. Art is the doorway to discovering parts of yourself, expression and understanding and it’s so often neglected now due to budget woes.

However, this year, because of budget cuts, her teacher was moved to a 3rd grade classroom. This was heartbreaking for my husband and I because we felt she was the perfect teacher for our daughter AND a great teacher in general, probably close to the best preschool teacher in the school.rnsazzyfrazz at gmail dot comrn

    Music, for multiple reasons. It’s always one of the first programs where they cut funds.

We are so worried about leaving no child behind that the program is really about helping no child get ahead or leaving no SCHOOL behind.
