What People Are Saying About Us

Committed to Community

  • One of the most meaningful middle school experiences was Camp Kieve. I had heard great things about it, but didn’t see how three days could really make a difference. Here’s what left a lasting impression. After just three days a new friend could feel like an old friend. I learned that I could climb a telephone pole blindfolded. We learned that we weren’t alone, we were in this middle school thing together.

  • So many people in the community who have done so much in their lifetime and those people have contributed so much, and I see the Ed. Foundation as providing a vehicle for those people to give back and to encourage young people to pursue careers that they might not have even thought of.

    Sue Cressey KHS Principal
  • RSU21 is known for having high standards but I think the Ed. Foundation provides an opportunity for the next step. It provides an opportunity for the creativity to happen that we value so much.
