Redding PTAs Receive Anonymous Grants

REDDING, CT -- The Redding Elementary School PTA and the John Read Middle School PTA have announced that they are the recipients of grants from an anonymous family foundation to promote and further their work on behalf of Redding’s school children.

The grant to the John Read Middle School PTA is earmarked to fund activities. The PTA will be working very closely with the school’s administrators to use the grant to fund some of the activities that were recently eliminated by the budget cuts at the school. “This generous gift will help us restore some vital programs at JRMS. While it’s a short-term solution, it is one that is greatly appreciated,” said Debra Jones, JRMS PTA Co-President.

The Redding Elementary School PTA’s grant will be used to fund innovative programs and grants at the school. It will explore new ways to enhance the school experience of the youngest students. “We are grateful for the chance to do more work for Redding’s children, and look forward to partnering with the schools to find the best opportunities to make a lasting impact,” said Sarah O’Dell, RES PTA President.
