One board. One community.

A whole lot of support.

Cheers to a New School Year!

Dear Friends and Supporters,

We are thrilled to kick off our 18th consecutive year of supporting Trenton students and educators through the Trenton Educational Foundation (TEF)!

This fall, we have already jumped into action by welcoming 13 new educators to theTrenton Public Schools with a $250 New Teacher Grant for their classrooms. This annual tradition is our way of saying, “We are here for you” — and is just one example

of the many grants and scholarships we provide to enhance learning opportunities across TPS.

Right now, our Fall Grant Cycle is open! Educators can apply for funding — up to $3,000 per project — to bring innovative ideas to life that are not covered by the district budget.

All of this is possible because of YOU. Your generosity fuels every grant, scholarship, and program we offer.

Our biggest source of support is our annual Signature Event fundraiser, and this year promises to be another unforgettable evening. You’ll find all the details in this e-newsletter.

If you haven’t yet, now’s the perfect time to reserve your spot for November 14 and help us continue inspiring students and empowering teachers throughout our district. Together, we’re making a difference — one grant at a time.

With appreciation,

Linda Kell

Board Chair
