The Zionsville West Middle School PTO recently presented more than $8,000 to the school for enrichment grants this semester. Grants were awarded for all grade levels and will have an immediate impact by providing both essential items and unique experiences to the 858 students at ZWMS.
“We prefer to focus our grants on unique classroom enrichment items and activities that will impact the greatest number of students and be able to be used for multiple years,” said Enrichment Co-Chair Laura Williams. “Of course, with all of the school budget cuts in recent years, some of the requests are also for more basic items, such as field trip transportation and new outlets in the art room,” she continued.
“The generosity of our parents and community allows us to provide our students with materials and experiences that are no longer funded through traditional sources,” said Principal Kris Devereaux. “The work of our PTO is invaluable to our continued academic success.”
