Montclair Fund for Educational Excellence

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.

Roger Chavarria, an engineer and manager started his life over back home in Nicaragua, started over as a busboy in Montclair.

Donations will help fund MFEE's Navegadores Escolares program.

Sites open this week near Nishuane and Hillside, looking to expand.
