Join us virtually November 10 at 7 pm for a discussion with author, distinguished Rutgers professor, Dr. Camilla Townsend regarding her book, Pocahontas and the Pohawtan Dilemma.

  • 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!
