Redwood City Thanks to all our supporters for a great year in 2009/10! With the help of parents and community members, business leaders, and major foundations, we were able to raise close to $400,000 for programs to support our children's education in the 2010/11 school year. We plan on another exciting and successful year in 2010/11 with even more opportunities to work with our partners and supporters to provide our students with the education they will need to succeed in high school, college, work, and life. News & Events First day of school: August 23, 2010 Save Our School Music Success! We are thrilled to announce that the RCEF Save Our School Music committee was able to raise over $87,000 to keep instrumental music in our schools. With these funds, the RCEF is able to fund a full music teacher position, and the District is able to offer a robust instrumental music program for our middle school students. More>> RCEF Parade Entry Wins Prize! The first ever Save Our School Music Marching Kazoo Band rocked the 4th of July Parade route with stirring renditions of the Rocky theme and Yankee Doodle. The band took 2nd prize in the category Miscellaneous Novelty Youth Group. The band also carried a banner to let the thousands in the audience know about the RCEF and our music campaign.
Our children need a well-rounded, high quality education that will prepare them to innovate, lead, work, and create in the California and America of tomorrow. Our funding supports music instruction for students in grades 2 through 8, Outdoor Education for 5th graders, SMART teaching innovation grants, and Wellness programs.
Our supporters include parent and community members, local businesses, government agencies, other organizations with education as their priority, and major corporations and foundations. |
