Your Fundraising Dollars at Work: New Mimio Boxlights for RFES

At RFES, we are always striving to create the best possible learning environment for our students. Thanks to the dedicated fundraising efforts of our PTA members, we’re thrilled to announce that your contributions have directly funded the purchase of Mimio Boxlights—innovative, interactive devices that will enhance learning throughout the school. This is a concrete example of how your support is making a tangible difference in our school community.

How Your Contributions Made This Possible

The PTA’s commitment to improving our school has never been stronger. Through successful events like the Foxy FUNd Run and your generous donations, we’ve raised the necessary funds to invest in these cutting-edge devices. This significant investment in technology allows us to enrich the educational experience for all students at RFES.

Our decision to invest in Mimio Boxlights was based on a compelling presentation by our principal, which highlighted the need for this technology. The presentation includes photos of students using similar devices and heartwarming handwritten notes from students expressing their desire for these interactive tools in their classrooms.
