Giving $$ Away

As usual, a GREAT event Thursday night as our Riverside education foundation (REEF) gave away over $115,000 in the form of 143 teacher grants -- in less than 1 hour. In addition, there are opportunities for 2 of our teachers to apply for and participate in EarthWatch -- what a tremendous opportunity. On of our prior EarthWatch winners/participants is Amber Carrow who was named as this year's California Teacher of the Year.
As is usual our foundation and community as a whole has stepped forward in difficult times to make things great for our students. As Brian Jaramillo, REEF Vice President, said, "each grant is a seed -- and now we will watch it grow." Great job REEF! You can find them on the web at: http://www.riversideschoolsrule.org/
