WOW, it is hard to believe that on this day in 2014 the Henry Hudson Tri-District Education Foundations kickoff Party was held.

A heartfelt "Thank You" goes out to all of our generous supporters who have contributed to our success in funding STEAM & STEM projects in our schools. We would like to also take this opportunity to thank all those, past and present board members who have donated their time to serve on our board through the years.
