Announcing the 3rd Annual Tyngsborough Trot 5K Run/Walk for Education. To be held on Saturday, October 16 at the Tyngsborough Elementary School. Last year we had more than 200 registered runners and walkers and we expect this year to be even bigger. Successful events like this Trot are critical to our ability to provide grants to enable excellent educational opportunities for the TPS students, grades pre-K through 12 (see this past year's results, below). We invite local businesses to show their support for public education by becoming a Corporate Sponsor (Sponsor Form) of this event. Runners and walkers - check back here in a few weeks for a downloadable runner registration form and more details about the race.
Announcing our 2nd Season Grant Winners! Please visit our Grants page to read about the 13 exciting grants we are able to fund this year. Many teachers took the time to identify items that they feel will enhance, encourage or improve the learning process. The grants awarded will bring educational benefits to students in each school and a majority of the 2,000+ students across the Tyngsborough Public School District. Your generous donations helped make this possible and we sincerely thank you.
Karats for Education: Thank you to all who came out February 27th, at the Tyngsborough Sportsman's Club. Food and drink, a warm fire and a few extra bucks in our pockets rounded out the evening. We had a lot of fun meeting new people and hope they too enjoyed themselves.
2nd Annual Dinner Theater was a great success! Our talented high schoolers entertained and amazed our community once again with three fun dinner/breakfast shows. Funds raised are being shared 50/50 with Friends of Tyngsborough Theater. The Foundation will put the funds toward educational grants, and FOTT will be purchasing microphones for our student actors. Thanks to all who came and supported two great causes!
Holiday Wish Program...Thank you to all the families who, together, recognized 53 individual teachers and donated a total of $1,025 to the Education Foundation. All staff recognized in this program were entered into a raffle and three names were drawn at the January 7th School Committee meeting. The winners are:
Mrs. Webster from TES; Mr. Chaple from TMS; and Mr. Conlon from THS
Each will receive a $50 git certificate to the school supply store of their choice. The Education Foundation is pleased that so many teachers were recognized and that we could defray the cost of supplies for a few of them.
