Rancho Romero Education Fund

Why do we need Annual Giving Donations, and where does all of that money go at Rancho? 

Why do we need Annual Giving Donations, and where does all of that money go at Rancho? 

This year at Rancho Romero, the Rancho Romero Education Fund is committed to funding music, reading, math, lunchtime sports, and classroom para aides. These programs are NOT funded by our district.

Without the additional funding from our families, we wouldn’t be able to offer these programs to our children and further enrich their education. 
 
RREF has committed to spending $1,600 per Rancho student this school year.
