The Aubry Bend Middle School PTO sets aside funding annually to award grants to teachers for materials or services that directly impact the education of our students, but do not have allocated funding from the district.

The available PTO grants budget for Fall 2026 is $3,440. Funding for teacher grants made possible by generous donations from ABMS families and concession stand profits.

All grant requests should be for materials or services that will be used by Aubry Bend students in the current school year. If you need assistance with programming that impacts multiple schools or highlights the Blue Valley District among your peers, please consider seeking assistance from the Blue Valley Educational Foundation.

Applications for PTO grants will be accepted from Tuesday, September 15 through Friday, September 25 via an online form that will be emailed to teachers when the application window opens. Applications will be presented to the PTO Board on Friday, October 2, and all applicants will be notified shortly thereafter.

For questions about the grants program, please contact Mindi Leftwich, the PTO President, at aubrybendpto@gmail.com.

On behalf of ABMS PTO and our families, thank you for all that you do for our students!

2025-2026

Each year, ABMS PTO provides grants to teachers for materials and services that enhance student learning but aren’t covered by district funding. Recently, PTO awarded nine grants totaling $3,260! 🎉 These grants were made possible by ABMS families who contribute through PTO memberships, spirit wear and school supply purchases, ABMS concessions, and spirit nights. Thank you for Backing Aubry Bend and helping us make a direct difference in classrooms!  💚💛🩶
