As you wander through our web pages, come and journey with us through the Borough of Netcong. Nestled in the mountains of Morris County, the Borough of Netcong is small in size but lacks for nothing. Still maintaining our small town appearance, we have a bustling Main Street enhanced by Lake Musconetcong on its perimeter. With The Growing Stage Theater, Netcong is in the forefront of children's theater. Our education system contains both parochial and public schools. Our 10 student per teacher ratio allows the children better access to their teachers, emphasing the learning process.
High School students attend Lenape Valley Regional High School, which is shared by Netcong, Stanhope and Byram residents. Lenape Valley also has its own Planetarium for the students which is opened from time to time for the general public and is well worth a visit.
Our down town area offers a variety of eating establishments ranging from Tex Mex to Italian. Our yearly Feasts are exciting and end with an amazing firework display. Netcong Day which we hold in September, attracts vendors and visitors from far and wide and is a wonderful day for strolling through our town.

As you are aware, dramatic cuts are being made to school sports programs throughout the State of New Jersey. The basketball program, which is the only sports program offered at Netcong Elementary School, was cut from the school budget.
The Netcong Educational Foundation was founded by a parent group in 2009, as a way to supplement taxpayer funding at Netcong Elementary School. We have taken it upon ourselves to try and raise the funds to reinstitute the basketball program for the students at the Netcong Elementary School. The Netcong Educational Foundation is seeking donations to assist in making this goal a reality.
The school already has uniforms for the basketball program, but it is in desperate need of funding for referees, team transportation, coaches, etc., as well as equipment. We have been told by the Board of Education that it will cost approximately $9,500 to provide these items for both the girls and boys teams.
It is our hope at the Netcong Educational Foundation that perhaps you may be interested in helping us achieve our goal of reinstating the basketball program at Netcong Elementary School. Any donation you may be able to provide will go directly towards covering the costs of the Basketball Program for the season.
We are a small tax-exempt 501c foundation without much fundraising experience, but we hope that you can see our efforts are sincere. We are parents who do not want to see our children suffer due to funding cuts. We have decided that as responsible adults and as parents, we must see to it that our children do not miss out on simple childhood opportunities, such as playing on the basketball team.
If you have any questions or would like additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us at the address and telephone number listed above. We thank you in advance for your time and consideration in the manner.
Sincerely,
The Netcong Educational Foundation Board of Trustees
