Friends of the Railroad Flat School Appreciates CCF ~ From Autumn Andahl
Railroad Flat, CA...The Friends of Rail Road Flat School would like to publicly acknowledge and thank the Calaveras Community Foundation for including us in their 2012 grant awards. Since conception in 2010 TFORRFS has worked tirelessly to keep this 116 year old blue ribbon school open and to uphold our Mission - to enhance learning by implementing activities that will result in increased student success while creating and maintaining a stewardship with the community and preserving the rights of children to be educated in the community in which they live. This program offers classes to students during and after school in Art, Drama, Construction, Gardening, Sports, Sewing and Weaving, Food Preparation, Dance, Music, Storytelling, Ceramics, Poetry, Photography, Sign Language, Mural-Painting, and more.. As this program is run solely on fundraising, grant writing, and small donations, the majority of the equipment and supplies are available in only limited numbers. Through this grant we are able to purchase an adequate supply of new state – of- the - art equipment; much needed new supplies, and provide participation opportunities to more children of the community.
The Calaveras Community Foundation (CCF) was founded in 2000 by West Point residents Beth Childs and Genna Hurst. Their goal was to create a legacy of charitable giving and to connect donors with nonprofit organizations that support a healthy, dynamic and prosperous community. The community of Rail Road Flat and Calaveras County as a whole are fortunate to have the support and dedication of The Calaveras Community Foundation.
Autumn Andahl, Secretary, the Friends of Rail Road Flat School
