Dear Dancin’ Friends, A big thank you! MFEE makes a difference to hundreds of teachers and thousands of Montclair Public School students and their families. We are entirely funded by donations. And your support is most necessary and appreciated. Thank you to Lois Whipple and Robin Schlager, our tireless and devoted staff, the event committee, and special thanks to Susan Brady for the wonderful auction. Most important, let’s all thank the great teachers, faculty and staff of the Montclair Public Schools who work together to continue to bring out the best in our students, schools and the community. 15 YEARS OF BRINGING OUT THE BEST IN MONTCLAIR PUBLIC SCHOOLS On behalf of our event Chair Bobbi Brown and the MFEE Board of Directors, we’re writing to thank you for coming out for Dancin’ in the Streets to celebrate the 15th anniversary of The Montclair Fund for Educational Excellence (MFEE). Our schools are a national model for high-quality, racially diverse public education. As a supporter, you are investing in the future role of MFEE, as we work to keep Montclair amongst the highest performing school districts in the nation. With the proceeds of this event, we will be able to offer each of the school principals an MFEE Magnet school grant for a “center of excellence” building upon previous MFEE funding; as well as partnering with the District on a number of new initiatives including a Strings Program, on line reference E-Book Library, dedication of the Furlong Field house, China Initiative, Planetarium Enhancement, Little Theatre Renovation amongst others. Each year Montclair Public School students, faculty and families benefit from our work. MFEE strives to enable each student, from kindergarten to high school, to excel and fulfill their potential by providing hundreds of teacher grants for classroom and curriculum innovation, professional development and student well-being. To help ensure a level playing field, MFEE created an Equity Scholars Fund. MFEE also convenes school-community initiatives together with the Superintendent of Schools, bringing community resources and funding to support educational excellence. These initiatives have brought about the renovation of the Woodman field house, the creation of the MFEE/Laraja Art Gallery @ MHS, revitalized school libraries, supported the IMANI College Advocacy center and built the Greenwald Challenge Course. Hundreds of individual donors form the backbone of support for MFEE projects, augmented by generous family trusts and local foundations. This diverse and deep support is emblematic of the regard and care with which the Montclair community views their extraordinary schools, while at the same time recognizing the need to continually improve and respond to new challenges and opportunities. So, please keep on Dancin’.

The MFEE Summer Scholarship Program evens the playing field by enabling low-income children to attend Montclair Public school-based summer academic and enrichment programs. Last summer, 112 students from Montclair families living at or below the federal poverty level attended 37 academically-oriented summer programs offered by Montclair Public Schools thanks to the MFEE Summer Scholarship Program. How can you help? As summer approaches, we ask you to help low-income children in our community spend their summers productively by donating to the MFEE Summer Scholarship Program. Although actual tuition is higher, the cost to MFEE is $150 per child. The more you give, the more students we can help prevent from falling behind in school. Please see the reverse of this card to make your contribution.
