Hello. I have been asked to write a science grant for my school. I feel comfortable with the grant writing process itself, but I need help with the actual idea for the proposal. A couple of staff members of mine (and my principal) have expressed an interest in me using this grant to get a greenhouse for the school. Obviously, my grant proposal can't just say "We want a greenhouse." I have seen greenhouses at other elementary schools, but don't have any firsthand experience with one. What I need to know from you is: *Does your elementary school have a greenhouse? *What type of structure is the greenhouse (square footage, materials used, etc.) *If you don't mind telling me, how much did the greenhouse cost? *What is the greenhouse used for? Specifically, what is the direct benefit to the students? How often is it used? I will really need to demonstrate the innovative programs we can do because of the greenhouse that would otherwise be impossible. *Who is in charge of the upkeep of the greenhouse? *What is the annual cost to the school to maintain the greenhouse? *Would you recommend my school pursuing this as an idea for a grant proposal? I appreciate your responses very much. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful group of people to turn to with these questions. Thanks! <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> <> Jennifer Burger <> <> Library Media Specialist <> <> Lee Elementary Springdale, Arkansas <> <> jburger@lee.jonesnet.org <> <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
