| We have had the good fortune to receive
small
grants from the various agencies which will provide funds for
service learning projects to be included in your Operation SMART lesson
plans. Service Learning activities support the
Mission Statement of College
of Saint Mary.
You will plan a lesson that includes service learning in
conjunction with your Operation SMART units. This year all of
our projects will involve purchasing and planting flower bulbs for the
spiritual garden at Mercy Crestview Village. You and your partner will write a grant proposal to acquire
funds for your project. You can obtain valuable information at

Bulb lesson links. The cost of the bus to
take the students to Crestview will be $100.00. Your share will be
1/7 of that. The plan is to plant the bulbs on November 2.
Grant-writing is an important skill for teachers
affected by budget constraints and for those who want to provide
experiences for their students that go beyond what is provided by the
school district. Click here for the mini-grant proposal form
that you will use to apply for funds for your project.

valuable information about grant proposals and projects.
