FEF Fall Update

Recent Events

It is with deep sadness that FEF shares the obituary of our dear and devoted Board member, Lyn McNaught, who died October 4. Lyn and her husband Michael have been tireless supporters and contributors to many organizations and schools, but one of their primary commitments has been to the growth and nourishment of FEF. They were honored this past March at the FEF GALA. We will miss Lyn, her energy, her feistiness, her wisdom, her mentorship, deeply.

Obituary

The Falmouth Education Foundation - Massachusetts granted a workshop for the FHS ceramics students by the one-and-only Jim Lawton.
Jim shared his process on how he makes his teapots.
The students are eager to start their own teapots, which will be fired in the salt kiln at Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill

October 25, East Falmouth first and second grade students had the amazing opportunity to meet Cape Verdean author Janet Bates! Ms. Bates shared her new book Rica Baptista: Llamas, Iguanas, and My Very Best Friend, that is being published today! Thanks to the Falmouth Education Foundation - Massachusetts, and in collaboration with Eight Cousins Books, all five teacher's wrote mini-grants to purchase signed and personalized copies of Rica Baptista for every student to bring home with them.

Falmouth schools hosted Mashpee Wampanoag author Danielle Greendeer, whose new book offers a Native perspective on the first Thanksgiving. Ms. Greendeer's book tour throughout the district is made possible by Falmouth Education Foundation - Massachusetts
and support from Eight Cousins Books. “Keepunumuk, Weeăchumun’s Thanksgiving Story,” offers a different perspective about the November holiday, with the hope of fostering dialogue.

October 3, 2022. "A rewarding day in the Berkshire Mountains thanks to the Falmouth Education Foundation. Students in AP Art, AP Literature and Honors Art went "over the bridge" today to the other side of Massachusetts. They completed sketches, writing and nature studies for works that they will complete in the coming weeks at FHS. Thanks so much to the FEF for funding this great learning experience for our students! Falmouth High School - Massachusetts"
