Welcome to the home of Montgomery Township Education Association's PRIDE and F.A.S.T. initiatives!

What is PRIDE?

In 1994 NJEA initiated PRIDE in Public Education, a campaign aimed at sharing the successes of New Jersey’s public schools and building community support and involvement. NJEA provides grants for all kinds of local and county community involvement projects that are either “community organizing based” or “marketing, branding, and sponsorship based.” One of the most important aspects of PRIDE is the recognition and publicity the projects often produce. The more a community knows about how good its schools are, the more likely it is to get involved and offer support.

What is F.A.S.T.?

NJEA’s Families and Schools Together Work for Children (F.A.S.T.) program works to encourage families to be involved in their children’s education, to enhance their academic progress, and to feel welcome in public schools. F.A.S.T. is a coalition of education advocates, community groups, and schools working together to foster family involvement.
