PLANNING FOR SHEF'S FUTURE!

The SHEF Trustees are thrilled to announce the establishment of THE SOMERSET HILLS EDUCATION FOUNDATION PETER J. MILLER ENDOWMENT FUND to honor Superintendent Pete Miller who is retiring on June 30, 2013 after serving the district admirably for 35 years.  Establishing an endowment in the name of Pete Miller recognizes his many contributions, his values and his long term commitment to The Somerset Hills School District (SHSD).  By establishing this fund the SHEF Trustees are planning for the foundation's future - honoring its long-term commitment to promote and provide education opportunities by funding innovative programs and projects for the benefit of the students of the SHSD.  SHEF's goal is to raise $35,000 by June 30 in honor of Peter Miller's 35 years of dedication to the district.  With leading gift contributions by SHEF Trustees already pledged, SHEF is looking forward to the support of the Endowment fund by parents, alumnus and community members who share our commitment to the student's of the SHSD.  To pledge or to make a contribution, CLICK HERE to download the Endowment Fund Letter of Intent.  

  


The Somerset Hills Education Foundation is pleased to announce a new initiative called the SHEF Enrichment Academy.  Through the Academy, students will be able to take very reasonably priced summer courses that will enhance or enrich their current academic pursuits.  Although these courses will not be for academic credit, they would be enriching courses that will help further develop various skills, abilities, talents and interests.  Program guides containing a list of available courses as well as registration information will be available in the next few weeks.  Questions can be addressed to:  [email protected]
