Redwood City
Education Foundation

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 more than $460,000 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.

Save Our School Music Success!

We are thrilled to announce that the RCEF Save Our School Music committee was able to raise $90,000 to keep instrumental music in our schools.

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, the middle school Summer Math Institute, and Wellness programs for all students.

Our supporters include parent and community members, local businesses, government agencies, major corporations and foundations, and other organizations with education as their priority.

Our mission is to enrich and advance educational opportunities for all 9,000 students in our Redwood City School District schools: Adelante, Clifford, Garfield, Fair Oaks, Hawes, Henry Ford, Hoover, Kennedy Middle School, John Gill, McKinley Institute of Technology, North Star Academy, Orion, Roosevelt, Roy Cloud, Selby Lane, and Taft.
