Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, the Metuchen Education Foundation's Turn Up the Volume campaign is now fully funded!
Together, in less than a month, our community raised the funds needed to replace the aging sound system in the Metuchen High School auditorium! This summer, a new digital sound system will be installed, enhancing concerts, musicals, assemblies, special events, and community gatherings for years to come.
This project was made possible by the support of parents, educators, community members, and friends of our schools. The high school auditorium is a gathering place for our entire district. The new sound system will ensure that student performances can be heard clearly, audiences can fully enjoy every event, and every voice can be heard.
On behalf of the Metuchen Education Foundation, our students, educators, and the entire school community, thank you for helping us Turn Up the Volume!
Every spring, we host our Annual Fundraiser which brings Metuchen community members together for a casual night of fun and fundraising, all to benefit the students, teachers, and schools of Metuchen.
This year, we celebrated 30 years of the MEF at our sold out and very successful "Party at the Parlor" on Friday, April 17, 2026. We hope you'll join us next spring!
This May, we continued our whimsical "Flamingo Flocking" fundraiser" where, for a small donation, our trustees anonymously placed approximately 30 flamingoes in the Metuchen yard of your choice. The flamingoes roosted in that lawn for a day or two before our trustees sneakily migrated them to their next yard. Metuchenites love "flocking" their friends so much that we had 3 flocks migrating around town each night for the entire month of May!
If you didn't get a chance to join in on the flocking fun, don't worry - the flocks will be back May 2027!
