It's that time of year...the Annual Fund Drive! Similar to years past, the RMS PTSA is asking the community to give what it can in support of this wonderful school, the staff, and our students.
Our goal is to raise $110,000 before the end of December. This is our only fundraiser of the year, and how we generate 90% of funds that support programs and services our students, teachers, and staff rely on. This includes:
Every donation counts, and we appreciate your support as we work to meet our goal. For more information, including how to donate, please visit the Annual Fund Drive page. For the month of October, local restaurant Lazy Susan will donate 10% of net sales from the Roosevelt community back to our school! Help a small business while also helping RMS and enjoying delicious Chinese food. Here's what to do:
About Lazy Susan: Lazy Susan's co-founder Tiffany grew up in her family's Chinese restaurant in Pittsburgh. Together with Hanson, the other co-founder, they brought Lazy Susan to life during the pandemic as a pop-up. With its success, they established a store-front in West Portal serving families throughout San Francisco. Hanson's kids went to CIS and RMS, and are both in Lowell now. He designed this give-back program to raise money for local schools. Save the date for an RMS Beautification Event on Saturday, November 4th (9:00am - 12:00pm). There will be various other projects to improve and enhance the classrooms, facilities, and shared spaces of the school. Past projects include bench sanding & staining, furniture assembly, installation of shelves, light cleaning & sanitizing, repairs, painting, mulching, and gardening.
Please use this form to indicate your interest in volunteering and/or willingness to lend equipment (e.g., electric handheld sanders—there are 28+ benches still to be sanded & stained in the yard). Early accounting of available sanders & other equipment will enable pre-event scoping & supply acquisition. All skill levels welcome, no experience required. Bring a friend, family member, and your energy and enthusiasm for improving everyone's experience at RMS! The PTSA Board wants to hear from you! Use our Suggestion Box to share your ideas and preferences. We will use your submissions as starting points to develop content and events that are important to you. All submissions are anonymous. We look forward to hearing from you!
