Subject: Cupertino Public Safety Commission Grant Application - Eaton Elementary
Attachments: PubliCSafetyGrantEatonJpg
Ms. Pow,
As we discussed this morning, I have attached our grant application from Eaton Elementary School.
We are hoping that the Public Safety Commission will approve our application for $399.80 to pay for
prizes as incentives for our walk to school week May 25, 26, 27 and June 1 and 2. The prizes are
drawn from the participation forms submitted by the students at the end of the week.
The prizes are as follows:
iPod Nano ($158.41)
Polaroid Digital Camera ($87.39)
one $20 gift card for Sports Authority
four $10 gift cards for Yogurtland
two $10 gift cards for AMC theaters
three $10 gift cards for Jamba Juice and
two $10 gift cards for Subway
In addition, we will award certificates that were donated by Elephant Bar (#20+) and Jamba Juice
(#20+).
Several weeks ago our school participated in the Cupertino Schools Walk -One -Week (WOW)
program sponsored by the Cupertino Teen Commission. The decrease in traffic around our school
that week was amazing. The students were very enthusiastic about the prizes. We received
400 participation forms from our student body of 662 students, however, the lack of traffic suggests
that actual participation was even higher than that. We Intend to use the same program for the
school days from May 25th to June 2nd and we are hoping to conduct the program multiple times
during the 2010-2011 school year.
I have purchased the iPod Nano and the Polaroid Digital Camera and I plan to buy the gift cards in
the next few days. I can submit the receipts to you next week. You warned me that it may take a
while for reimbursement and that is fine. I can compile the data from the participation forms and send
that to you shortly after the program is completed.
If you have any questions, I can be reached during the school day at (408)255-2848 or on my cell at
(408)390-4584. If you need to reach me in the evenings, you can call my cell phone or my home
phone (408)252-7153.
Thank you so much for your assistance. I'm looking forward to talking with you again soon.
