Each year, grants awarded by the Munster Education Foundation (MEF) fund innovative programs, dynamic tools for teaching, and hands-on experiences that bring learning to life.
From supporting a one-of-a-kind trip to the Florida Keys to establishing a robotics program at each school, donations to MEF provide resources and opportunities that educators might otherwise be hard-pressed to provide. That’s especially true at a time when a change to state law means schools may no longer charge parents for a portion of curriculum materials, from textbooks to devices to educational software.
"Robotics is more than a club. It provides countless opportunities for the students to practice teamwork, problem-solving, and perseverance, all while having fun in a competitive game-like environment."
—D’Ann Habas, Robotics Coach
"Let’s Glow makes the learning environment more stimulating and enjoyable. It's a memorable experience that creates more effective review sessions and enhances the retention of material learned during these events."
—Michelle Frantal, 3rd Grade Teacher
“Over 300 freshman attend freshmen orientation every year. Link Crew members go into their classrooms once a month during tutorial to help students get to know the school, clubs, Homecoming, and more. The bonds students form with their Link Leaders offer a critical peer support system.”
—Kristen Szafasz, MHS Link Crew Leader
