In the fall of 2015-16, the Springfield Education Foundation made a commitment to support the Springfield Public School’s Talented and Gifted Program. SEF is excited to invest, for the first time, in the district’s brightest students with a comprehensive, district-wide program increasing offerings for students to learn in and outside of the classroom. With approximately the $20,000 investment the TAG program almost doubles the school district’s investment. SEF’s support of TAG provides additional evening academic programs for students to engage with their peers and families, a summer engineering program, support for four teams to compete in the Destination Imagination competition, teacher training materials, and assistance for student participation fees.
