Hamden Education Foundation

This is the ninth year of mini grants for Hamden teachers, proudly sponsored by The Hamden Education Foundation.

The Foundation believes strongly in offering certified staff opportunities to enrich their curriculum and professional practice in ways directly affecting students' day-to-day classroom experiences.
