Thank You for Helping “Thank a Teacher”

We are pleased to share that our Thank a Teacher drive was a wonderful success, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who participated.

Thanks to your generosity, the East Lyme Education Foundation delivered Certificates of Recognition to 33 East Lyme educators. The messages were thoughtful and personal, with families sharing specific moments that show how much they appreciate their teachers and staff. It was wonderful to see how much this community values its educators.

Your support also helped advance ELEF’s broader mission by helping us fund innovative classroom projects through our mini‑grant program.  Programs like Thank a Teacher are allowing  us to continue expanding impact across all East Lyme schools.

Engaging Students. Empowering Teachers. 

One grant at a time.
