from the president
Dear Mequon-Thiensville Community,
On behalf of the Mequon-Thiensville Education Foundation (MTEF) Board, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to all our donors, partners, and volunteers. Your generosity and support continue to make a lasting impact. Since 1998, the MTEF has awarded more than $5.5 million in educational grants to the Mequon-Thiensville School District.
Thanks to your contributions this past year, the MTEF awarded $200,000 in grants for the 2025–2026 school year. These funds are already driving meaningful improvements – enhancing technology, curriculum, and professional development across all six district schools. We invite you to explore our Annual Report to learn more about how your support benefits students and educators.
The dedication of our Board of Directors is vital to fulfilling our mission. I’m deeply grateful for the expertise, time, and resources each board member contributes to the Foundation. We also value our strong partnership with our district’s staff and administrators, and we’re especially thankful for the many dedicated volunteers who help make our events and initiatives successful.
The Mequon-Thiensville School District remains one of the most sought-after in Wisconsin. Our award-winning schools, outstanding enrichment programs, and strong community support create a premier environment where our children can thrive. Continued investment is key to sustaining the high-quality educational experience we all cherish.
You make this possible. Whether through a financial gift or by sharing your time and talents, your support helps build a path of sustainable excellence for all MTSD students.
With sincere appreciation,
