Our Mission

The mission of the Tolland Education Foundation (TEF) is to inspire – and fund – innovative, creative learning experiences in Tolland Public Schools that enrich academics and build life skills for our youngest to our oldest students of all abilities.

Our Goals

The Tolland Education Foundation (TEF) seeks to sustain its 15+ year track record of being a consistent resource for the Tolland Public Schools’ superintendent, principals, teachers, paraprofessionals and staff members. Through the generosity of local residents and businesses, TEF is able to ‘show up’ for them when their unique ideas to provide ‘life skill’ lessons to students surpass their funds.

Who Benefits

Our youngest to our oldest students of all abilities, of course! And when your school system is strong and builds life skills for Tolland’s youngest generation, the community as a whole grows stronger, too!

"The Tolland Education Foundation has been an integral part of Tolland High School DECA's success.  TEF was there in 2012 when we began the club and needed support to attend our first international competition and has been by our side ever since, supporting student achievement and growth."
