About LEF New Teacher Grants We recognize that there are a lot of supplies necessary to maintain a classroom that is ready for students. We have created this grant program to help stock and replenish your classroom. Teachers who meet the criteria can submit one grant application for up to $250.
Who can apply?
Any Pre-K-12 classroom teacher within Lafourche Parish public or charter schools who is directly involved in the instruction of students and is currently within their first year of teaching.
Allowable Expenditures
Paper, pens, pencils, bulletin board materials, storage containers, markers, crayons, dry erase boards, calculators, or items that are necessary for your classroom and student learning. This grant cannot be used to purchase technology for the classroom.
Grant winners will be able to purchase up to $250 in supplies directly from KEM Supply or Callais Office Supply. No purchase orders will be necessary. Complete details on how to make purchases will be given upon awarding of the grant.
Applicants will be notified via email by early October whether or not their grant will be funded, without explanation or discussion. Empoloyment status will be verivied through Lafourche Parish School District. Grant recipients must agree to open their classroom to LEF to showcase the funded projects in the same school year.
