Education Wins Again

The Education Foundation of the Summit recently hosted its annual Trivia Night and Silent Auction, raising over $10,000 for teachers and students. Proceeds will support programs including the Eileen Finkel Innovative Teacher Grants, which helps teachers implement innovative and creative projects for their students. EFS directors and winning teams recently visited schools to personally give their winnings to principals.
