Our yearly Direct Appeal Fundraiser is happening now!

What are the funds for?? Our Lion's Pride Appeal is a direct appeal fundraiser with a very specific purpose: Raise needed funds to support our yearly LMS Grant Program. Every year, our PTSA provides a Mini-Grant Program, open to all staff, to support curriculum, extra-curricular, and arts programming at the school that fall outside of regular school funding.

Budgets are tight in MCPS . . . often there are not funds available to support certain programs, supplies, or needed extras the staff and students need.  That's where we step in!  We hope to raise $4,000 dollars to cover this years grant cycle. Here are the grants for the 2015/2016 school year:

1. STEM Essay Project through Universities at Shady Grove (scholarships for student essay winners)
2. 6th Grade Outdoor Eduction Grant (Pays for students who required funding to attend Outdoor Ed)
3. Support for Student After School program working to improve school grounds (Renovation of front sign and Outdoor Courtyard) 
4. 8th Grade New York City Trip: Scholarships for students in need
5. 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony support (Student recognition, arrangements, and security for the Promotion Event)
6. Music Department: Student Scholarships to attend the "Music in the Parks Competition"
7. Loiederman Athletics: Support for the 1st ever Sports Award Banquet to honor LMS Atheletes

We need YOUR SUPPORT to make sure we have the available funds on hand to deliver these grants! This is where YOU come in. Nothing to sell, nothing to buy, no volunteer hours . . . just the few minutes it takes to give to our campaign. Please support our students and staff at Loiedeman: Give today!
