PTF Announces Spring Grants, Tartans Thrive Gift to Close Out 2024-2025 School Year

 The PTF spring grants will make a lasting impact for student learning for years to come.
St. Margaret’s Parent Teacher Fellowship announced its 2025 PTF spring grants, which will make a lasting impact for student learning for years to come. The grants were announced at the final PTF General Membership Meeting of the year last week in Sillers Hall. 
 
The PTF Grants are funded through annual PTF events and programs, including the Forever Plaid All-School Fundraiser, the Library Luncheon, the Book Fair, the Online Auction and more. 
 
There were also additional programs set up in 2024-2025 to support Tartans Thrive and the construction of the St. Margaret’s Commons, as part of the PTF’s multi-year commitment toward supporting the campaign. That included a Chair-ish our Tartans initiative and the sale of St. Margaret’s Commons sweatshirts with custom patches.
 
As a result, the PTF announced a gift of $1.4 million toward Tartans Thrive, which is now under construction.  
 
The spring grant cycle includes general grants requested by professional community, the continuation of standing grants, and restricted funds. 
 
General grants, requested by St. Margaret’s professional community, fund resources and tools to enrich the learning of the student body. This spring’s general grants included:
 
  • Funding the PTF Parent Up Speaker Series for 2025-2026. 
  • Reading library expansions in the Lower School and Middle School. 
  • XR Meta Quest Headsets for use in technology-rich learning. 
  • An expansion of the Scottie Snack Cart to all divisions
  • Compression recovery systems for athletics
 
There was also standing grants which support student learning, including teacher classroom funds, grants funding Lower School Core Council, Middle School ASB and Upper School ASB, donations to Special Camp and Breakthrough SJC, and more.
