Enrich our children's education

The Allendale Foundation for Educational Excellence, Inc. (“AFEE”) is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the educational experiences of Pre-K through 8th-grade students at Hillside and Brookside schools.

AFEE's Board of Trustees is made up of dedicated volunteers from the Allendale community, including parents, teachers, and district administrators (such as the superintendent, principals, and supervisor).
