Who We Are | |||||||||
| |||||||||
MTFEE was incorporated by a group of Millstone Township leaders and educators with one vision: to promote and enhance educational excellence in our public schools through private resources within our community. The foundation strives to enrich children's educational experience by providing opportunities that might not be available without private funds. Operating a foundation within our school district also makes us eligible for grant monies from the state of New Jersey. The potential benefit to our children, our school system, and to our community is immeasurable.
Of the seven rural towns, which encompass Millstone Township, the one uniting force is our school system. Over the past 30 years, our township has evolved from one modest schoolhouse to a primary, elementary and middle school with a current enrollment of more than 1,300 students. Our schools are challenged to fund many worthwhile endeavors for our children.
MTFEE, with the community's support, wishes to inspire the youthful minds of our children to cultivate a passion for learning as well as aspire to achieve lofty goals thereby enriching all of our lives. With the aid of resources, both developed and dispersed, MTFEE will provide the funding for major projects benefiting all grade levels.
Through MTFEE's fundraising efforts, your generous donations and the creativity of Millstone Township teachers, the organization was able to award many grants. The “180 Day Club,” which asks for donations of a $1.00 a day for the 180 days of school and “extraordinary learning,” continues to be a successful fundraiser. To date, MTFEE has raised more than $50,000 through the campaign. MTFEE wishes to thank its generous donors! 180 Day Club Donations have increased each year, since the program was introduced four years ago.
