PTF ENRICHMENT
The Blanchard Memorial School PTF Enrichment Program awards PTF funds for projects or materials not funded by the Blanchard PTF Operating Budget that enrich the learning environment of the Blanchard Memorial School community.
The Enrichment program replaces the previous Grants program. The new program allows staff and administrators to request enrichment funds. Any Blanchard community member can email grants@blanchardptf.org to share enrichment ideas. Enrichment ideas will be reviewed on a rolling basis within sixty days, subject to available funds in the Enrichment Budget.
