Sauk Rapids-Rice Education Foundation

The future success of the Sauk Rapids-Rice communities and schools are inseparably linked. We are built upon the power of passionate students, inspired teachers and an engaged community.

Led by an independent board of volunteers, the aim of the Sauk Rapids-Rice Education Foundation (SRREF) is to provide opportunities for all students to excel, by funding innovative educational programs that go far beyond the district’s operating budget.  We unite the generosity of those who care deeply for our students, our schools, and our community.

Our Priorities: 

• Create unforgettable classroom experiences.
  Enhance classroom instruction through special projects, experiments and field trips.
• Unite the community and our schools.
  Improve education by strengthening connections with parents, alumni and local businesses.
• Provide opportunities for all children.
  Remove financial barriers for children whose families cannot afford extracurricular and enrichment activities.
• Invest in the future of our youngest children.
  Provide early learning opportunities for pre-Kindergarten children and their parents to ensure success in school and life.
