About the Foundation

If you’re looking to support educational excellence within the Southington school system, you have landed at the right site, the Southington Education Foundation, Inc.

We are a non-profit organization committed to enriching the minds and lives of Southington’s most impressionable community members – its school students. Our mission is simple. We hope to instill a life-long love of learning in our children through innovative and creative initiatives that expand upon existing educational opportunities.

To that end, the SEF operates independently of the Southington Board of Education and local tax dollars to secure funding for worthwhile, relevant projects that otherwise would not be available to our school children. At the heart of this initiative is sustainability. We’re looking to cultivate long-lasting relationships with members of the Southington community and beyond who value ideas, creativity, and achievement.

As for those of us who are involved with the SEF, we are your neighbors, parents, teachers, community and business leaders, and local volunteers who realize the importance of effective educational programming beyond our public school classrooms. We have committed to the SEF via our own monetary gifts and are unified by a common denominator: a dedication to academic excellence.

The Southington community has always valued and supported a high-quality, high-achieving public education system. The SEF works in collaboration with that mindset to further ensure that our children acquire a lifelong passion for knowledge and growth long after they’ve left our Southington classrooms.

Together We Can Make a Difference

The Southington Education Foundation (SEF) feels compelled to join in the conversation about social justice. The Foundation believes that social justice aligns with our organization’s values: equity, innovation, integrity, life-long learning, and school-community partnership. We ask you to reflect on these five values and their definitions below.

Together, we can support a quality education for every child by freeing our community of implicit and explicit biases and discrimination.

Our Core Values are defined as:

Equity:
Freedom from bias; justice or fairness of social policy
Innovation:
The act or process of introducing new ideas, devices, or methods
Integrity:
The quality of being honest and consistent; firm adherence to code of ethics
Life-long learning:
The ongoing, voluntary, and self-motivated pursuit of knowledge
School-community partnership:
The shared responsibility and reciprocal process with schools and community organizations and others actively supporting children’s learning

Sincerely, SEF Board of Directors
