In today's environment of reduced budgets and increased demand, everyday is a challenge. Kids not only want to learn, but they want to learn at cyberspeed. And to do that, they need a learning environment that is fun, interactive, and experiential. An environment that prepares them for jobs that aren't available yet, using technologies that haven't been invented, in order to solve problems that we don't even know exist.
We have smart, creative teachers; we have dedicated principals and administrators; and we have a superintendent whose energy, enthusiasm, and intellect are amazing, but they can't do it alone. They need you and they need us. That's why Richmond Public Schools Education Foundation was established -- to support the school system by seeking monetary donations and other resources that will enrich the learning experience.
Our focus is varied based on the school system's identified needs which may be to support innovative teaching, OR to strengthen after school programs, OR to build math laboratories, OR to underwrite exploratory trips. But our goal is steadfast, we want our children to graduate ready, ready to go to college...ready to pursue a career...ready to be your employee...ready to live a productive, successful life.
With your help, success is attainable. Help us to ensure that our children have the educational opportunities that they want and need. Please become a friend of Richmond Public Schools and make a donation now.
Thank you,
Adele Johnson
Executive Director
