Charting the Future at Essex Elementary School

The Essex Elementary School Foundation is a not-for-profit organization established to provide a channel for parents and members of the community to make tax-deductible contributions for the benefit of Essex Elementary School. Our primary goal is to create a significant endowment to benefit the school. We currently allocate ~5% of assets each year to fund special projects.

Our Mission
