Supporting Redbud
One of our main goals as a nonprofit organization is to provide supplemental assistance to Redbud Elementary to ensure that all staff and students have the best experience possible during their time at school. In previous years, we have been able to provide ongoing support through teacher appreciation luncheons, playground enhancements, popcorn spirit days, curriculum supplements, technology subscriptions, covering field trip buses, maintaining campus grounds landscaping, and offering teacher reimbursements for classroom supplies at every grade level and within our specials and special education departments. We could not make these things happen without the generous donations from our school community!
To help raise funds throughout the year, the PTO coordinates and hosts monthly Restaurant Nights and regular Community Spirit Nights. These events provide an avenue to gather outside of the school walls to build friendships while also supporting Redbud.
Rocky's Fall Fundraising Auction was started to help generate first semester funds to carry us into the second semester and supplement any larger scale special projects that we are saving towards. It is now bigger and even more exciting thanks to our partnerships with Redbud staff members, families and friends, and local businesses. Last year, the auction raised over $17,500! Thank you to everyone who participated any way!
The Rocky Color Run is our main fundraiser for the year and takes place during the second semester. It is a huge event that the students and staff often refer to as "The Best Day of the Year"! With this fundraiser, classes and grade levels work together to reach fundraising goals. As goals are met, students and teachers celebrate collectively with fun incentives such as dance parties, pajama days, crazy hair/hat days, movie days, etc. Our main goal for this fundraiser is to reach school wide participation. We would love for all of our families to feel that they have the means to contribute in some way to making our school even better than the year before. The culmination of our fundraising efforts is our annual color run where Redbud families, students, and staff can all come together to celebrate what we have all worked so hard to accomplish! Last year, we raised over $53,000 to support our school through donations from our Roadrunner friends, families, and businesses!
We appreciate your continued support in giving back to our Roadrunner family and look forward to partnering with you to help raise money for our school in the future!
