Tolland Education Foundation

06/13/2026

For the last twenty years, Linda Byam and Anne Hill have been steadfast and cherished voices at the table and in the life of the Tolland Education Foundation (TEF), helping to shape our direction, and our spirit. Their belief in the foundation’s mission has never wavered. Because of their care and vision, so much has been accomplished — the Golden Discovery Center, the Katie Powell Memorial Fund, the creation of an endowment fund to help ensure sustainability — and more than $425,000 in support for Tolland Public Schools, encouraging creative and innovative ideas that will ripple outward for generations.

As their chapter on the Board of Directors concludes, the members of the TEF Board celebrate them with deep gratitude and admiration for all they have given, for all they have made possible, and for the extraordinary example they continue to set. We and Tolland Public Schools have been very lucky to have them.

Thank you, Linda and Anne!

The Tolland Education Foundation held a raffle last month. This morning a lucky student from Birch Grove won a ride to school in a DPW truck and loader. Thanks to TEF, Principal Swanson and staff for taking a moment to make this happen. (More pics in comments)
