It's not too late to make your donation to our $91 drive. $91 represents the amount, per property parcel, that the district would have collected annually for our schools if Measure E had passed.
 
Your help means our children will still benefit from music instruction, enrichment programs, and teaching innovation.
 
To make your donation, please send your check to: RCEF $91 Drive, PO Box 3046, Redwood City, CA 94064 or go to www.rcef.org and click on "Make a Donation." Or click here.
