It is the mission of the RSU #34 Education Foundation to enhance the quality of education and educational opportunities for the students, staff, and citizens of RSU #34 (serving the communities of Alton, Bradley, and Old Town).
Major accomplishments of the foundation include:
- The establishment of the Children's Fund, which assists in meeting needs for students when other resources are unavailable. These supports include a wide range of things, such as: a pair of sneakers, assistance in attending a summer camp, assistance with college application fees, and assistance to students recovering from a fire.
