Dear Friends,
This year marks a very special time for FIE as we embark on our 10th year. True to our mission, Foundations in Education Inc is committed to strengthen and transform the mission of Catholic education in the Diocese of Bridgeport by providing tuition assistance to families in need, supporting innovation in academic programs, and fostering opportunities for the professional development of school leaders.
This year also marks a transition in the leadership of our Board of Trustees. Effective July 1, our dynamic Chair, Thomas McInerney, transitioned to Past Chair and Joe Purcell has taken on the role of Chair. With a steady hand on the helm (Joe is former Navy!) and gratitude to Tom for his tireless leadership, we look forward to the next 10 years!
We are delighted to share in a wonderfully successful start to the school year. Stacie Stueber has seamlessly followed Dr. Steve Cheeseman as Interim Superintendent of Schools. Stacie joined us as we gathered in October to recognize 101 Leaders of Tomorrow. We are deeply grateful to the many donors who make this program possible. Thanks too to all our generous supporters of tuition assistance for low-income children and Innovation & Leadership Grants initiative for teachers. Your contributions have a transformative impact on young lives, enabling access to quality education and empowering students to reach their full potential.
As we reflect on the impact your contributions will continue to make, we are filled with hope for the future. Together, we are transforming lives and creating the opportunity for every child to succeed. Thank you for your dedication to our mission. Your partnership fuels our efforts to create lasting change for our students and teachers alike, and we couldn’t do it without you!
Holly Doherty-Lemoine, CFRE
Executive Director
