The 100 Man Welcome is a beloved tradition of the Foundation Academies community. Each year, dozens of positive role models gather to celebrate the 100th day of school. More than just a milestone, the presence of these men lets our youth know they matter and their community is cheering them on every step of the way. Last year, students were met with exuberant celebrations, balloons, banners, and more as a bit of encouragement for the final stretch of the school year. This year is shaping up to be just as memorable, so don’t miss the opportunity to be a part of something extraordinary!

This event is hosted by Foundation Academies, one of Trenton’s foremost charter schools. Foundation Academies prepares students kindergarten through 12th grade with the education they need to prosper in today’s society. What started 15 years ago as a small middle school in a borrowed building has quickly transformed to an educational movement. Per their mission statement, “we were founded with the vision of a world where every child, irrespective of race, gender, or socioeconomic background, has access to a high-quality public education—and we work relentlessly to live up to this promise.” If you wish to be a part of this vision, the 100 Man Welcome is a fantastic place to begin!
