Congratulations to the Central Elementary 2022-2023 Student Council for being the first ever recipient of a Love Esco grant!

Central School's garden is an area where students can go to relax when they're having a rough day or sit and chat quietly with friends. This year's Student Council members wanted to beautify the garden area with more plants. Under the direction of advisors Mrs. VonEsch and Mrs. Hutchinson, students wrote a grant to the Love Esco foundation for succulents for the garden. These easy-care plants will be a great addition to the garden and will remind future students of the 2022-23 student council's contribution to Central School.

  • • The project must impact Escondido in a tangible way.

    • Anyone is eligible to apply but people under the age of 18 must have parental consent.

    • If you are applying on behalf of a class, group, or organization, please designate one person to be the main point of contact for the project.

    • Your microgrant project should involve more than just purchasing and donating items. Are you transforming the items you purchase into something else that can be used in a variety of ways? Are you bringing others together to pack/organize/make something out of what you purchase?

    • We do not fund stipends.

    • You must agree to submit project photos, progress, and budget reports.
