    Fundraisers and events help us raise awareness and generate crucial resources to serve our community.
    Our 15th Annual Book Lovers Luncheon with author Lily King was held virtually this year, and, as always, was a fun day with lively discussion!

  • Power of 100, the HVEF’s annual campaign, imagines what a difference we can make if 100 or more families donate $100 each, or $10 per month, for the school year. We have kicked off our 2020-2021 Power of 100 campaign. This year your P100 donation will support programs promoting equity in HVRSD as well as technology, outdoor learning spaces, and innovative initiatives to provide excellent education during the pandemic.

  • The HVRSD teachers and staff have been amazing in adapting to remote learning and continuing to support our students’ needs. One way to thank a teacher, team of teachers, or other school employee who has made a difference in your child’s life is through an online donation to HVEF in his or her name. HVEF gives back to our schools and teachers by funding teacher-initiated grants that promote educational excellence through out HVRSD.

  • HVEF has partnered with the Dick Fitzpatrick Committee to honor the many contributions that Dick has made to education throughout the Hopewell Valley by sponsoring a scholarship for a graduating senior who attended Toll Gate Grammar School or Stony Brook Elementary School.

  • We are incredibly grateful to Union Fire Company and Rescue Squad, Central High School Teacher, Mike Sullivan, and HVRSD who have figured out how to use the 3D printers that we funded at all of the HVRSD Schools to create face shields to protect our first responders and medical professionals. As of April 21, 2020, they have made 1,776 shields and donated 1,507. Production keeps going around the clock. Click on the photo above to see the full story and a video.

  • Meet the amazing people who work hard to make our vision a reality.

  • This year the Author-in-Residence program which we co-sponsor with the PTOs brought author Peter Brown to each of the elementary schools. Both in-person and remote students enjoyed this fun event!
