Members of the Rim of the World Educational Foundation presented checks to the principals of the seven schools that make up the district. The Foundation, President Jo Bonita Rains said, was started in 1983. Since 2010, the Foundation has donated $685,046 to the district, a fact that drew applause from those attending the meeting.
Priscilla Williams, the chair of the Partnership with Schools committee, then presented each principal with a check representing that campus’ share of this year’s available funds. Each school is eligible for an amount based on its student population.
The Foundation also awarded funds for the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) at both Mary Putnam Henck Intermediate School and Rim High.
