The ORR Tri-Town Education Foundation was founded in 2007 to raise an endowment to support Tri-Town’s local public schools. Its vision is to enrich the educational, cultural and civic experience for all students, enhance each student’s success in school, in their communities and in life and to encourage academic excellence, innovation and creative thinking in the Tri-Town schools.
To date, more than 25 grants have been awarded through the Tri-Town Education Foundation to outstanding educators in the district with 2015 grants totaling nearly $4,000.
