PEF Jeans Day has gotten even COMFIER and was a tremendous success! A HUGE "Thank You" to our school district staff for participating by wearing jeans/sweats or by just giving us a High ($)5 of encouragement.  We raised over $1,500 and look forward to putting every dollar to good use for our school community. 

PEF board president, Andrew Ladas presented the Board of Education with a check for $17,920.65 at the November 14, 2024 board meeting.  Fifteen grants were approved that ranged in scope from the arts and ESL support to elementary math manipulatives and robotics; from new technology in our Physical Education departments to initiatives that enrich our special needs student community.  Thank you to all applicants for submitting such enriching proposals!

Thanks to a generous donation by McCabe, Heidrich & Wong, PC, once again the Parsippany Education Foundation is offering a $5,000 scholarship to one graduating senior at each of Parsippany's two high schools. Parsippany seniors are encouraged to reach out to their Guidance department or check their Naviance accounts for applications and further information including application deadlines.

Students explored the exhibits at Liberty Science Center alongside their Peer Leaders, engaging in hands-on learning about careers in science, including working with animals as veterinarians, jobs in the planetarium, and the role of a geologist. Both schools had a fantastic time interacting with one another and their Peer Leaders, making it a fun and enriching experience for all! Liberty Science Center is an excellent choice for Community-Based Instruction trips, especially for students with special needs. Their hands-on exhibits and sensory-friendly options make learning engaging and accessible.
