The Ag Fund

Picture
There is no more valuable investment in our community than creating a public education system that prepares our children to be successful. Rockingham Educational Foundation, Inc. (REFI) believes the future of Rockingham County rests upon every child in our schools graduating with a quality education. The Foundation believes in the power of partnerships. With all of us working with a common purpose, we can share our resources to make sure that each student and teacher is provided the support that they need to thrive in our ever-changing educational climate.

The purpose of this letter is to ask for your help in funding our newly established RCPS Agricultural Education and  FFA Fund. The contributions that we have already received are in memory of some amazing contributors to education and the agricultural community. Can you help us reach our goal of establishing $20,000 in the fund, so that we can offer opportunities to students in financial need to experience the benefits of FFA? Interest income earned from the fund will be used to help pay for deserving Agricultural Education students participation in State and National FFA competitions and workshops.  A contribution to this fund is an investment in America’s future and the future of agriculture in Rockingham County.  No amount of money is too small as we work together to reach our goal!  
​

The Foundation plays a pivotal role in the future of our county by striving to improve the quality of education for our children and in this case Agricultural Education. Our programs and initiatives are focused on areas that have the most impact in and outside the classroom in supporting improvement and transformation efforts in Rockingham County Public Schools.
