Past Programs

The Foundation was formed for the purpose of helping ALL students in ALL schools in our district achieve educational excellence. Equity in education is a goal everyone can get behind. And who doesn't want to see all students have an equal opportunity for success? RVEF wants to make sure that every student has the support they need to be successful and we help to ensure this by supplementally funding district wide programs. Funding comes in several forms and usually is implemented via staffing (i.e. salaries and/or professional development) and in supplies (single use or reusable).
Below you will find a variety of programs that RVEF has supported since its inception. As the district's needs change over time, the Foundation's goals also fluctuate. Partnering with the district as well as with our communtiy will ensure that together we identify which learning opportunities will best broaden and enrich our students' educational experiences.
In the 2019 - 2020 school year, the Rincon Valley Education Foundation donated a total of $47,200 to the Rincon Valley Union School District.
Monies gifted helped to supplementally fund:
Science Facilitator Program
Science Facilitators helped to organize, maintain, and staff the elementary school science labs with hands-on, scienctific based instruction.
Rincon Valley Charter Schools (RVCS)
Distributed funds went to the cost of hosting Challenge Day or toward any program and materials whose curriculum is based on either science or the arts.
