Tabernacle Township School District

The Education Foundation of Tabernacle Township is dedicated to supporting our schools in a way that allows teachers and staff to develop programming that goes above and beyond what would typically be funded by the school district, state or federal education budgets. 

EFTT has provided funding via donations and grant support to provide professional development for teachers in addressing literacy in high-risk students, social emotional learning using the concept Mindfulness, as well as funding to address the social emotional needs of our teachers during Covid that would result in a positive impact on our students. Classroom support for STEM projects and programs, woodworking and garden programs including hydroponics have been funded. In addition to this, the Wingman program founded by Dylan’s Wings of Change was implemented this year to empower our young leaders to reach out to others with empathy to foster a caring community regardless of race, religion, national origin, gender identity or sexual orientation. Funding was also provided to parents of special needs students for professional development and resource support. 

In addition, the Education Foundation donates $2000 annually at the start of each school year to the HSA to help fund small project requests that the HSA receives from teachers and staff.  This partnership allows the Foundation to continue funding smaller projects while at the same time streamlining the process for staff, making it easier for them to access the funds needed to carry out their projects once approved.
