The Colonial Fund exists to fund high impact innovations within our schools that would not otherwise be feasible. These projects or opportunities often come up outside of our annual budget cycle or they are too costly to offer without sacrificing existing programs or staff. The Colonial Fund enables us to bring these innovations to our schools now. Acting with such expediency helps ensure Shrewsbury schools are providing the high quality education that will prepare our students to succeed in colleges and careers of the 21st century.
