The MFEE Amazing FundRACER 3.0 turned out to be the BIGGEST, BEST, and, BOLDEST FundRACER yet! With a record number of teams, a record number of teens!, and a record number of donations/sponsorships, this beast of a FundRACER surpassed all of our expectations. We continue to be amazed by - and grateful to - all of the brave souls who sign up for this adventure to help raise critical funds for our schools. A town with this much creativity, persistence...and bravado will no doubt continue to nurture extraordinary public schools. Well done, Montclair!

Watchung teacher/Bradford parent, Drury Thorp, gives you a peek into how your donations directly impact innovation in our classrooms. ❤️. Will you join Drury in donating to MFEE today? https://givebutter.com/mfeeforthem2022

On top of all they give to our students, TEACHERS also give to MFEE. Our teacher donors hold a very special place in our hearts.❤️❤️❤️ MHS Science teacher Susan Eckert is just one of many MPS staff members who regularly contribute to our appeal. Check out why she gives, and we hope you'll find a reason to give, too. 🌟🌟 Donations of $20 or more earn you the chance to award up to $2,000 to the school of your choice! https://givebutter.com/mfeeforthem2022

Watchung and Buzz parent, Ruth Ro and her wife Amy Kaufmann Ro are generous MFEE donors who give with gusto - and swagger. Just check out their Amazing FundRACER Team outfits in this video. Sac Attack came to play - and they raised thousands for MFEE! 🏆🔥🔥🔥🏆 Ruth has also shared her DEI expertise with MFEE's Learning Circles on Race, and through her leadership within AAPI Montclair helps nurture collaborations. Perhaps it's the youngest Ro, however, who has stolen our hearts. Charlie wowed us back in the early days of the pandemic when he entered our TikTok Together competition (as the YOUNGEST participant) and used his stellar dance moves to raise money for COVID response initiatives, like PEEPs. ❤️🕺 Will you join the Ro family in donating to MFEE's Annual Appeal? https://givebutter.com/mfeeforthem2022

Meet MFEE's Oruguitas! MFEE now offers bilingual after school programming for our youngest ELL students. Modeled off the success of Entrenadores Escolares, Oruguitas (Little Caterpillars) provides not just academic support to students but aims to create meaningful connection and community.
