MEET OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Megan Fonseca joined RVEF as the Executive Director in November 2018. Her love for RVUSD has grown through her experience as a classroom volunteer, Art Docent, Superintendent Parent Advisory Committee Representative, SITE Council Member, and PTA Executive Board President and Chairperson for Madrone Elementary where her two children attend.
She is a firm believer that it is our community’s responsibility to help develop our children’s innate qualities and to cultivate their learned abilities in order to positively change the world. Serving as the Executive Director will continue her on-going efforts to support what makes our RVUSD schools unique, driven, and purposeful.

MEET OUR ENRICHMENT COORDINATOR
Cathy Hatcher-England, first introduced on July 1st as the new Enrichment Coordinator, is not new to RVUSD. In fact, she has volunteer taught in-class on several campuses, offered after school courses for over 12 years, and both of her daughters attended schools in our district where she was an active member of their parents clubs. Cathy has just retired from Sonoma State as the program coordinator for the EXCEL for Youth program (a program that offers over 50 classes each summer to students entering grades 4th-9th) and has an M.A. with an emphasis in interdisciplinary curriculum. Her passion for learning and desire to share that love with others has already made her an important asset to our community and we welcome her expertise and creativity wholeheartedly.
