Dear Parents,

As you may know, the Teaneck Organization for Public Schools (TOPS) is a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational foundation founded in 1991 whose sole mission is to support the educational needs of all students in the Teaneck public schools. Just like you, we are proud parents who have raised our children in the Teaneck Schools.

Over the years, TOPS has contributed more than $100,000 to Teaneck’s public schools to help supplement funding for technology, math and literacy programs while minimizing the financial burden on local taxpayers. Each year, TOPS volunteers work to raise money for the schools through individual and corporate donations as well as a wide variety of fundraisers. We are excited to announce that with your support, we were able to donate an impressive $20,000 to the Teaneck Public Schools at the September Board Meeting. We want to continue to do more this year with your support. It is our mission to continue to support the Teaneck Public Schools by enhancing instructional support and promoting academic success for every student.

We are excited to share great news! The TOPS 5K RUN/WALK/ROLL and 1-MILE COLOR RUN is back -- just in time to celebrate Teaneck Township's 125th Anniversary!

Mark your calendars and SAVE THE DATE: SUNDAY MAY 31, 2020
