Education Committee Goals

The Moccasin Lake Foundation Education Committee strives to provide funding for educational endeavors that add depth to curriculum and broaden scholastic experiences that would not be otherwise funded through the traditional means. We aim to support innovative and creative educational programs for students and faculty to enhance the educational experience. We aim to provide resources and programs that enrich children’s appreciation and understanding of all subjects covered by the academic curriculum.
