'Toast to the Teachers' Start This Week

Toast to the Teachers, an annual fundraiser for the Montclair Fund for Educational Excellence (MFEE), kicks off on Thursday, May 23. 

Montclair Schools will pay tribute to teachers, as well as faculty and staff, with dozens of parties planned over the next couple of weeks.

A total of 89 parties — with more still being added — are listed on the MFEE website. Choose from a picnic with a magician, a golf outing, dancing brunches, barbecues, pool parties, dessert nights and more. Most events are hosted by Montclair families.

Donations range from $5 to $25 and are tax-deductible. See a list of parties and make your reservations at www.mfee.org. 

Toast to the Teachers serves the dual purpose of raising funds for MFEE grants and honoring the district's educators.

Each year, thousands of Montclair residents participate in the fundraiser by attending numerous parties from the end of May through June.
