Lions Club Makes Donation for Scoreboard: Recently Rappahannock Lions’ President Larry Grove handed a check for $2,500 to RCPS Athletic Director Bob Czekaj to purchase a scoreboard for the Auxiliary Gym located behind RCES. We thank the Lions for this generous donation and for the annual service the club provides with the Sight and Hearing Van used to screen our children.
Anonymous Donation in Memory of John W. Glasker: On November 27, an anonymous donor and friend of the late John W. (”J.W.”) Glasker handed a check for $6,000 to RCES Principal Carol Johnson. The donor made the donation to establish the “John W. Glasker Literacy Memorial” at the school. The Rappahannock News has agreed to run an article with greater details at a later date. We thank this anonymous citizen for this generous donation.
How May Individuals, Civic Clubs, and Businesses Make Donations to the RCPS ?
· Individuals, civic clubs, and businesses may, with prior written approval of the Principal, donate gifts directly to RCES or RCHS. Gifts may be monetary or non-cash donations. Donation forms are available in each school office. All gifts become the property of the schools. Donations in this category are not considered “fund-raising,” which would involve asking others for donations to the schools.
· School-related booster organizations like Headwaters, Rappahannock County School Sports Association (RCSSA), and the PTO may raise funds on behalf of the schools. Headwaters’ Executive Director Cole Johnson at 987-3322 (office) and RCSSA President Rich Hogan at 987-8575 (office) can provide names of persons authorized to raise funds for those organizations. There is a form for school-related booster groups that is available in the Principals’ offices and at the School Board Office. The RCSSA is authorized to raise funds for all school sports programs grades 5-12. The Headwaters Foundation raises funds for a variety of RCPS school programs. The PTO raises funds for RCES.
