The deadline to secure a locally crafted dessert for your Thanksgiving table while supporting Lincoln-Sudbury educators is quickly approaching. The Foundation for Educators at Lincoln-Sudbury (FELS) will close orders for its annual Thanksgiving Pie Sale on November 16.
Crafted by Tom Fosnot and Ruth-Anne Adams, owners of The Hyve and parents of LSRHS graduates, the pies are made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients and hand-rolled crusts.
Order and Pick-up Details
- Deadline: Orders must be placed by November 16 via the FELS website (www.FELSGrant.org).
- Pick-up: Tuesday, November 24, between 3:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m.
- Locations: Pick-up is available at either Bemis Hall in Lincoln or near the auditorium at the front entrance of LSRHS.
Residents who don’t need a pie for themselves can still participate by purchasing a pie as a gift. FELS offers the option to gift a pie to LSRHS faculty and staff, or to donate one to the Lincoln or Sudbury Fire and Police departments, as well as local Food Pantries. FELS will handle the delivery for all gifted and donated pies.
Those who wish to support the foundation without purchasing a pie can also make a direct donation to the FELS 2026 Annual Appeal, which currently has a fundraising goal of $15,000.
Supporting Educator Enrichment
Founded in 2000, FELS is a non-profit organization that awards enrichment grants to LSRHS faculty and staff, allowing them to pursue personal and professional passions during school vacations and summer recesses. Operating under the guiding principle, “Inspired Teachers Inspire Students,” FELS funds these grants entirely through donations and local fundraisers like the Thanksgiving Pie Sale and Prom Flower Sales.
Over the years, these community-supported grants have funded a wide variety of enriching experiences for educators, which in turn inspire their work in the classroom. Recent grant awards have included:
- 2026 Grants: Nine educators received grants for diverse pursuits, including David Bloom’s travel to Georgia and Alabama to explore the history of racism in America, Sage Engberg’s expedition “Traversing the Brooks Range” in Alaska, and Brendan Sarles’s project “Learning Consistency Through Ironman Triathlon Training” in Texas.
- 2025 Grants: Five educators were awarded grants, such as Rebecca Mayer for her proposal “How to Connect,” Suanne Peterson for an “Encaustic and Cyanotype Workshop,” and Susan Shields for “Ma Francaise”.
- 2024 Grants: Four educators were awarded grants, including Vicky Caburian for “2024 Chronicle Adventures,” Kelly Gaudreau for “A Year of Wellness,” and Tracie Lopez and Kendra Pavlik for their joint proposal, “Gaining and Maintaining Equanimity.”
