Success is achieved through combined effort!

The Monsanto Fund continues to be a partner with RE-1J Foundation in furthering our pursuit of educational excellence in the Holyoke School District through the America's Farmers Grow Communities grants.

The Heginbotham Trust has shared our enthusiasm for the education of our communities students.  They have been our partner since our beginning with over $85,000 in donations and matching funds!

The Schneller's have been ardent supporters of the Foundation's efforts including $10,000 in matching donations!

Almost $35,000 was raised to buy instruments for the band program.  Major partners were the Heginbotham Trust, Carl & Kathy Schneller, PIE (Parents in Education), Music Parents Association, Arts Council and the school district.
