Millstone Township Foundation for Educational Excellence


History

The Millstone Township Foundation for Educational Excellence 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. We strive to enrich our 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. We are emerging from an agrarian hamlet where native Millstonians lived and raised their families to an area where people from many locations and backgrounds have come looking for an environmentally friendly community. Over the past thirty years, our township has evolved from one modest schoolhouse to a large elementary and middle school with a current enrollment of over 1,500 students. Our schools are challenged to fund many worthwhile endeavors for our children.

The Millstone Township Foundation for Educational Excellence, 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, our Foundation will provide the funding for major projects benefiting all grade levels. We have developed seven "branches" or fund groups to directly benefit six essential areas of education within the Millstone Township School District.

Devoted to fostering intellectual achievement, encouraging young minds to be curious and responsible, and challenging students to excel in their chosen endeavors.
