As a member of the U.S. Department of Education's Partnership for Family Involvement in Education (www.pfie.ed.gov), McDonald's restaurants in the New York tri-state area support the initiative's mission to increase opportunities for families to be more involved in their children's learning at school and at home and to use family, school, and community partnerships to strengthen schools and improve student achievement.

Through the McDonald's Together In Education grant program, McDonald's restaurant owners in the tri-state region are making $50,000 in grants available to fund programs or activities such as Family Science Nights and Family Book Sharing Clubs that "tie" parents back to the schools and help increase family participation in education.

Teachers throughout the New York tri-state area (New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut) are eligible to apply. Expanding on the success of last year's program, members of Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) are also eligible to apply for matching grants to fund their own parent involvement activities. The project must be designed to include the families/parents of one class, grade, or school. Grant request amounts can range from $500 to $2,500.

Additional information and applications can be found at the New York Tri-State McDonald's restaurants Web site...
