Montclair Fund for Educational Excellence

Judy Weston was a longtime Montclair resident and public school supporter.

Funds go to innovation projects — diversifying libraries, a mural project and more.

Latifah Jannah and Priscilla Church thanked the community during their last public meeting.

Some voice support, some don’t but explain why and some stay silent.

Funds will support 12-week artist-in-residency program and an after-school enrichment program.

Students are being treated “as second class citizens,” former Montclair principal Michael Chiles said.

The program's online fundraising page reflected more than $67,000 collected as of Monday morning.

The talent show supports the Montclair Fund for Educational Excellence's programs in Montclair schools.

This year's funds will benefit MFEE's youth programs.

Donors will be entered in a lottery to award $1,000 to a school of their choice.
