2020 Annual Campaign
THANK YOU! WE'VE REACHED OUR GOAL!!
Learn More About the RCS Foundation Annual Campaign
We’ve all encountered challenges and unusual circumstances this year. Many businesses and organizations are struggling to stay viable. Back in March 2020, schools, families and students had to quickly adjust to remote learning. Even now, with the new school year underway, RCS continues to cope with state mandates and the need to take steps to ensure the safety of those most at risk.
RCS has done a tremendous job of creating a solution to bring students back into the building this school year. To meet state requirements for private schools, RCS had to reduce class sizes and therefore the total number of enrolled students this year. We’re happy to report near capacity enrollment, which the school attributes mainly to the high-quality Christian education that only RCS offers, as well as the ability to provide in-person classes every day. While this is good news, there are also financial concerns for the school, given that they have the same number of teachers and classrooms, but less students and tuition income.
Over 100 years ago, a group of people from our community came together to form Rochester Christian School. Everyone pitched in whatever they could to help form a special school where families could send their children for a high quality yet affordable Christian education. That foundation of Christian values and neighbors working together and supporting each other is the tradition that continues today.
Thanks to the support of our caring community, each year the RCS Foundation is able to provide the school with funds that allow the school to continue to operate. Additionally, the Foundation awards several deserving families with scholarships each year so they are able to afford to send their children to RCS. The support of the Foundation has been a key financial component for the school for over 26 years. We count on donors to continue to help the school at the current level of much needed support.
Once again our prayers have been answered. We not only met our 2020 goal but we exceeded it! Thank you for helping us continue our tradition of neighbors helping neighbors to ensure that Christian education is available to every family today and for generations to come.
With Gratitude,
The RCS Foundation Board of Directors
