[LM_NET] Need ideas for $500 grant

[Susan Hanlon <hanlons@NWLEHIGHSD.ORG>]

Hi Everyone:
Our school district has started an "Education Foundation" and one of their goals is 
to provide grants to teachers.  They just announced that each of our four schools 
will be awarded 2 $500 grants!   Does anyone have any new and/or exciting things in 
your library that you could share?  I'm looking for ideas of things I might apply 
for with this grant.  
 
Some things they are looking for in the application are: "innovative in nature", 
"education materials and supplies...printing expenses...periodical or internet 
subscriptions (definitely a possibility however I wouldn't be able to rely on that 
money to get something above my budget every year)...field trips"; requests should 
be "outside the normal budget or planning considerations"; "integration of new 
technologies" (another definite possibility).  Any ideas????
 
Thanks for your help!
Susan
