Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Hanover Foundation for Educational Enrichment has recently sent out its
annual mailing asking residents to support the many exciting and innovative
programs the Foundation funds as part of its grants program. Please
consider making a donation. We need your support! It is through the
community’s financial support that this organization continues to thrive and
grow. The HFEE is an volunteer, non-profit organization with a broad
mission to foster excellence and innovation in the education of young people
in the Hanover schools. Since its inception in 1991, the Foundation has
raised over $160,000 for enrichment of the curriculum to benefit students at
all grade levels. Through its competitive grants program each fall, teachers
are eligible to receive grant funding for new and innovative proposals.
Grants are selected for educational purposes only and are not used to cover
salary or administrative costs. Projects are funded which are not normally
included in the school budget. These grants enhance the educational
opportunities for Hanover’s students and are not meant as a substitute for
community funding. Our commitment to excellence has been possible because of
the loyal support of people like you.
Recent Grants funded by the HFEE have included:
HHS: Rachel’s Challenge
Center/Sylvester: Star Lab Portable Planetarium
Clothesline Project
Jarrett Krosoczka, Author
Purchase of Kiln & Pottery Wheels

The Foundation believes that a commitment to a strong and vibrant
educational system benefits the entire Hanover community – its residents,
businesses, and, most importantly, its children. We strive to facilitate
projects like these every year, but we cannot do this alone. Your donation
of time, money, and/or services, demonstrates that you share this belief.
You may send your tax-deductible donation to: Hanover Foundation for
Educational Enrichment, P.0. Box 1144, Hanover, MA 02339 (ID# 043161682).
In the meantime, please save the date for our spring benefit, "A Night at
the Races" on March 27, 2010, at the Knights of Columbus Hall, Pembroke, for
an evening of excitement and entertainment in support of children and
education!
Sincerely,
Joan McVey & Linda DiNardo, Co- Presidents
