The Volunteers that keep it going

Our Board of Directors is an all volunteer group of people representative of a broad range of experiences in community service, education, professions and business. As a group, they share the vision of FCEFE and bring their expertise to explore opportunities to enhance and enrich the education of our school children.

The Board meets monthly to consider funding and enrichment opportunities to support the needs of our school children and the needs of their teachers. It is our Board’s belief that every child has opportunity for enriched and enhanced educational experiences to achieve their highest level of ability by strengthening their learning environment.
