Kingwood Township Education Foundation
2010-2011

What is the KTEF?

The Kingwood Township Education Foundation (KTEF) is a non-profit community organization of parents, administrators and school staff that is committed to fostering and encouraging creativity in educational activities by enhancing the core curriculum of Kingwood Township School (KTS).

How does the KTEF benefit KTS students?

Twice a year, the KTEF funds innovative, teacher-proposed educational programs, which benefit our students in the form of field trips, in-school assemblies and performances and classroom resources.

How does the KTEF raise funds?

Thanks to the support of our community, school staff, students and parents, the KTEF raises funds through an annual gala and auction, sale of novelty items decorated with original student artwork, corporate gifts and private donations.

What types of educational activities are funded?

Since 1999, the KTEF has funded nearly $195,000 in innovative programming for KTS Kindergarten through 8th grade students. For the 2010-2011 academic year, we are proud to announce the following newly-funded programs. Additional details about each are available at www.kingwoodschool.org:

*American Heroes Concerts (In-School Assembly)
*Art in History (In-School Workshop)
*A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Theater Experience)
*Music in Our Schools Month Concert (In-School Performance)
*The Little Star that Could (Museum Performance)
*Quiet Valley Historical Farm (Field Trip)
*Our State – New Jersey (In–School Performance)
*Spanish Culture Cooking (In-School Workshop)
*Lemony Snicket (Theater Experience)
*Camden Adventure Aquarium (Field Trip)
*Sterling Hill Mine Museum (Field Trip)
*Howell Living Farm’s From Producer to Consumer (Field Trip)

Why get involved?

Every Kingwood Township School student benefits from the programs, projects, field trips and equipment funded by the KTEF. The KTEF strives to prepare our students for the future by facilitating programs that inspire a connection between textbook and real life experiences and that would not have been available in the traditional school budget.
