FASTEN YOUR SEATBELTS!
"Fasten your seatbelts," Governor-Elect Jerry Brown told a gathering of education leaders this week, warning them of deep and unavoidable cuts to the education budget in 2011/12.
You can do more than just hang on tight however. You can wrap up 2010 with a gift to the RCEF. We will be working harder than ever over the coming months to preserve our children's education. With your support we can save programs vital to giving our students the high-quality, well-rounded education they need to succeed. Please give today! |

THANK YOU SVCF!
The Silicon Valley Community Foundation has awarded the RCEF a grant of $50,200 to support the district's Summer Math Institute. The Institute prepares middle school students for success in Algebra I in 8th or 9th grade. Since 2009, a total of 145 students have attended the Institute. 72% of current 8th graders who participanted in this program are now enrolled in Algebra I. Many studies show that students who succeed in Algebra I in 8th grade are more likely to continue their education past high school. |
