Dedicated to
supporting and enhancing public education
The Board chose
to use the Marcia Thompson school house in the village (drawn by Suzanne
Starr) as its logo, since it represents not only the early beginnings of
education in
North Stonington, but in its simplicity it
symbolizes how, as Margaret Meade said, “A small
group of thoughtful people could change the world.
Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”
Through the commitment and hard work of the volunteer directors, the NSEF
is on its way to enhancing and enriching the education of the
North Stonington
community.
Board of Directors
The North Stonington Education Foundation is governed by an
all-volunteer board of directors comprised of community members.
The NSEF is independent of the North Stonington Public Schools, the
Board of Education and is
nonpolitical.
Fundraising and Events
Fundraising is important to our organization. The NSEF
depends primarily on tax-deductible contributions and our fundraising
events so that we can provide opportunities for students and community
members that are not covered by tax dollars.
Our annual fundraising events include:
Toast to Spring;
Runners in Support of
Education Road Race; and
NSEF Dinner & Dance Gala.
In conjunction with the town's bicentennial celebration the NSEF held a
Bicentennial
Scavenger Hunt.
The NSEF also sponsors a
Community Education Series offering presentations on a
variety of topics.
