PTSA Enhanced Grant Program

The Rehoboth PTSA is proud to announce that they have been able to provide their PTSA Enhanced Grant program (PEG) to educators at Palmer River Elementary School and Beckwith Middle School. This endowment program was designed to distribute funds outside of the school’s budget that benefit our students.

All proposals submitted for approval by the committee had to match at least one of the goals of our PTSA: Enhance the learning curriculum, improve the quality of education, promote the welfare of the children and youth, and develop a united effort between parents and educators to secure the highest advantages in physical, mental, social, or spiritual education.
