Target Teaching - In light of the looming teacher's shortage, juniors at Parsippany and Parsippany Hills high schools are being encouraged to enter the teaching profession. The goal is to create a pool of teacher candidates who could consider returning to the community to teach. They attend seminars on classroom pedagogy and are paired with an experienced teacher. The program is funded through a grant from the NJEA Frederick L. Hipp Foundation for Excellence in Education.

Culture Care - Students at Winfield Township Elementary learn about Asian art through the practice of origami and exploring the use of watercolors. The program is funded through a grant from the NJEA Frederick L. Hipp Foundation for Excellence in Education.

WEBB - Weekend Book Buddies is a program at Old Farmers Road School in Washington Township designed to instill an appreciation of literature.

Hipp Foundation for Excellence in Education.
