Buzz Aldrin Students are Getting LOUDer

Your donations have allowed MFEE to support alternative paths to literacy at Buzz Aldrin Middle School for the past four years. Through a school-wide poetry slam, students learn valuable writing and presentation skills that also provide an invaluable opportunity for them to express themselves. This year, spoken word artists from The LOUD (Living Our Ultimate Dreams) Project will work with students to craft their pieces and present them live on stage in April. Check out the powerful first assembly!

It's Back!

Our award-winning conference for teens and their caregivers returns on Saturday January 11, 2020. This year, MFEE is partnering with the MHS Guidance Department and Montclair Bounce to provide an even richer experience to help teens navigate the exciting and challenging transition to young adulthood in these rapidly-changing times.

Check out our website for more information. Registration and workshop offerings will be posted in mid-December. To ensure that MFEE can continue offering this as a free event, please consider donating to the Life After High School Fund.
