BPSF
Science Olympiad participants will use the money to pay for travel expenses and material costs for invitational, regional and national competitions. The grant will allow coaches to be a more effective by providing resources necessary to compete with other schools across the country. Students will spend more time on Olympiad and less on fundraising – especially before nationals when there is only a three week window to raise ten or more thousand dollars.
The grant will help to both increase the school’s number of ukuleles, and replace those instruments that have broken. Ukuleles will be introduced as a special unit for fifth grade as first, and as the year progresses, will be added into more areas of their musical instruction. This is a project that will never be “completed,” as each year it will be repeated with the new fifth grade classes.
