Hoboken Public Education Foundation

Last month we proudly presented the Hoboken Public School District with $514,000 to fund 20+ exciting initiatives this school year. From the smallest contribution to the largest sponsorship, every act of generosity helps shape our growing district's future. Thank you to our incredible donors and sponsors for making this possible! ❤️ Check out the second graphic for the complete funding list across the focus areas of science, technology, experiential learning, support for students with special needs, college and career prep, fine and performing arts, athletics, and skill building for staff and families. #HPEF #AimHigher #Hoboken #PublicSchools #HobokenSchools #HobokenPublicSchools #HobokenPublicSchoolDistrict #HobokenPEF #HereWeComeHoboken

The City of Hoboken will hold a ceremony today at 5pm in Maxwell Park, to dedicate a bench in honor of our co-founder, Shirael Vaknin Pollack. “The dedication will serve as a lasting tribute to her impact on the community and the many lives she touched,” read an announcement from the City. Join us this evening to honor and remember Shirael. #HPEF #AimHigher #Hoboken #PublicSchools #HobokenSchools #HobokenPublicSchools #HobokenPublicSchoolDistrict #HobokenPEF #HereWeComeHoboken

It has been 5 years since our co-founder Shirael Pollack passed away, and while much has changed, one thing has stayed the same. Shirael's legacy lives on in the work that we do every day. We miss her positive spirit, her friendship and her fierce advocacy for our Hoboken Public School District. To honor Shirael's legacy, we award the Shirael Pollack HPEF #AimHigher Award annually to recognize "visionaries committed to advancing HPEF's mission of public school excellence and exemplary leadership." Recipients of the award include: 2021: Dr. Christine Johnson 2022: Dennis & Betty Martin 2023: Alice & Jim Kocis 2024: Dan Cocoziello We will recognize a new award recipient in Spring 2025, in loving memory of Shirael. #HPEF #AimHigher #Hoboken #PublicSchools #HobokenSchools #HobokenPublicSchools #HobokenPublicSchoolDistrict #HobokenPEF #HereWeComeHoboken
