Franklin Lakes Public Schools Benefit from Education Foundation

Ken Mathieson of New York, New York earned his master of business administration in finance from Fairleigh Dickinson University and is currently managing director of Laidlaw Asset Management. In 2011 and 2012, Ken Mathieson acted as the co-president for Franklin Lakes Education Foundation which helps raise funds to enhance education at Franklin Lakes through yearly events and donations.

Founded in 1988, the Franklin Lakes Education Foundation aims to provide educational enrichment to students attending four Franklin Lakes, New Jersey public schools: Woodside Avenue School hosts 250 children in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade; High Mountain Road School educates 230 students also in pre-kindergarten through fifth grade; Colonial Road School caters to 332 children from pre-kindergarten to fifth grade; and Franklin Avenue Middle School prepares middle school students for high school.

Through yearly events such as a back-to-school fundraiser, an end-of-year gala, and donations from the community, the foundation has been able to deliver innovative educational tools to students. Such tools have included a 3-D printer, museum field trips, a garden for the Franklin Avenue Middle School science department, and robots that teach second- and third-grade students how to code.
