The Tri-Town Education Fund is a newly formed independent, community-based nonprofit with the mission of supporting excellence in education in the three towns’ public schools. The goal is to foster partnership between schools, businesses and community groups, and fund projects that encourage a thirst for knowledge, respect for the community, responsible citizenship and broader student aspirations.
