TEACHER GRANTS THAT WERE AWARDED IN 2025

When teachers can use their grants to add dynamic new possibilities in the classroom, 
​everybody wins.

The New Milford Education Foundation's Teacher Grants are paying off in student educational experiences. As educators spend the funding they received from NMEF, students are being provided academic opportunities above and beyond the quality education already offered at the New Milford School District.
