Kingwood Township Education Foundation

2022-2023

 

What is the KTEF?

The Kingwood Township Education Foundation (KTEF) is a non-profit community organization of parents, administrators and school staff that fosters and encourages creativity in educational activities by enhancing the core curriculum of Kingwood Township School (KTS) with programs not traditionally available in the school budget.

 

How does the KTEF benefit KTS students?

Twice a year, the KTEF funds innovative, teacher-proposed educational programs, which benefit our students in the form of field trips, in-school assemblies and performances, and classroom resources. These programs inspire a connection between textbooks and real-life experiences.

 

How does the KTEF raise funds?

Thanks to the support of our community, school staff, and parents, the KTEF raises funds through donations, contributions and fundraisers.
