Shelter Island Educational Foundation

Shelter Island Educational Foundation The SIEF pursues, creates and provides excellent educational opportunities that enhance, inspire and broaden the horizons of our children and community

Inspired by the vision of former Shelter Island School District Superintendent, Dr. Lydia Axelrod, the Shelter Island Educational Foundation was founded in July, 1995. The focus for the first two years was a positive reinforcement initiative. The copyrighted program, Project Excel, was implemented to help support families in their efforts to educate their children on the dangers of drug and alcoho

l abuse. Building on the success of this first project, the Foundation was reorganized with an expanded mission and Board of Directors and augmented with Community and School Advisory Committees. In examining the many possibilities for enrichment opportunities, the Foundation is focused on those areas that help our children chart a productive course from their own abundant shores to the boundless world of knowledge and understanding.
