Improving public education is vital to the future of our community. In order to help RE-1 Valley School District meet the increasing challenges ahead, a collaborative effort involving the school board, administrators, teachers, parents and the leadership of the local community — businesses, local officials, and other philanthropic individuals and organizations is necessary.
The RE-1 Valley Foundation, Inc. was established in 1993 to provide funding for district programs and activities which are beyond the State of Colorado's budgetary support of the public schools in our district.
The Foundation’s mission is to enhance the educational experience of the students within the RE-1 Valley School District. That mission is achieved through the mini-grant program, impact grants, managing memorial scholarship endowments, identifying needs and developing strategic projects to improve the District, and raising funds to support these projects.
Board Chair's Note
I would like to welcome everyone back for the 2012-2013 school year and thank RE-1 Valley staff and students for a successful 2011-2012 school year. I cannot believe how quickly the last year went by. The past year was filled with many exciting activities like McTeacher's night, the Fox 5 Theatre showing of Pirates: Band of Misfits, the KPMX Radio-a-thon, and the 5K Run for Fund$. All these events help to raise funds to support students in RE-1, and I would like to thank all participants for their time commitments, donations, and dedication to the students of RE-1 Valley. I would also like to take a minute to remind everyone about our partnership with DonorsChoose.org. Last year our contribution to DonorsChoose helped bring in approximately $20,000 worth of supplies and materials into the classrooms of RE-1 Valley to fund 28 teacher projects. Kudos to the staff for taking time to participate in this very worthwhile program. Once again, we will be partnering with DonorsChoose to support the students of RE-1, and we would like to continue to encourage teachers to apply. We would also like to encourage the community to help us in our efforts by contributing to teacher projects as well. You can find out more about donating to local projects at http://www.donorschoose.org. Thank you all for everything you do to support education in our community. Patty Kramer |
