CLOSING GAPS. OPENING DOORS.
PUBLIC EDUCATION NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT
Funding for public education continues to shrink. That means every year more students are excluded from opportunities that move them forward in their educational journey. Having a chance to play a sport for a school team, participate in an educational competition, attend a field trip or simply know that post-secondary options are within reach can completely alter a student's life trajectory...
Insufficient funding is the primary challenge. You can be part of the solution.
TEF MISSION AND PURPOSE
TEF's mission is to provide exceptional educational experiences for students and educators in Thompson School District.

Through a variety of programs and funds, the foundation supports TSD students from preschool through graduation, and beyond with post-secondary scholarships.
