Mini Grants

Mini grants help support teachers achieve their goals in the classroom or on campus. As is the case at most public schools, educators spend their personal funds to supplement materials for classroom use. They may have unique, engaging project ideas, where execution of their ideas is prohibited only by availability or cost of materials. They may wish to expand class libraries or offer a calming space with social emotional tools for students. The Dartmouth HSC is able to support our educators’ vision with our mini grants offered to each classroom, enabling staff to enhance their students’ learning experience.

Without your support we won't be able to continue to provide for our teachers and their classrooms. Please make a donation to the general fund so we can support our students via our amazing and hard working teachers!
