In Memory of Michael (Miguel) Fernandez
1929–2023
Michael “Mike” Fernandez dedicated decades of his life to Redwood City students—as a teacher and administrator for 33 years and later as Outdoor Education Coordinator for another 20 years. His love of learning, the outdoors, arts, and community left a lasting impression on generations of students and families.
Remembered with gifts from:
Elizabeth & Robert Olson • Gregory & Magda Hierro • Elizabeth & James Jewell • Phyllis Shepard & Carla Dewing • James Fowler • Coombe Family • Mary Jo O'Connor
In Memory of Violet L King
1919–2020
A longtime Redwood City resident and community volunteer, Violet King included RCEF in her estate as part of her wish to benefit children in her community. Her nearly $1 million legacy gift became one of the most significant individual gifts in RCEF’s history.
Her generosity is a lasting example of how one person’s commitment to their community can create opportunities for generations of Redwood City students.
