Applications for the MPPTSA Grant Program
The MPPTSA offers the Meridian Park Elementary staff an opportunity to receive one-time funding to support enrichment and academic program enhancements. The goal of the MPPTSA grant program is to support teachers and staff to bring their ideas, vision, and passions to our students by funding supplies, equipment, and projects that provide unique learning experiences that are not currently supported by other funding sources.
2026-27 Grant Opportunities update:
The MPPTSA has funding available to support enrichment, unique learning opportunities, and program enhancement. Thank you for your donations and fundraising efforts, which make these grants possible!
New Grant Option! 🎉
