Robinson Elementary Education Foundation

MISSION STATEMENT

A non-profit, charitable organization of Robinson Elementary parents

working together for our children's education to help provide

a well rounded learning experience to our Robinson Students.

Good music programs inspire. They inspire not only students, they also inspire parents and community members. Because of this, music has a resource rare among the academic disciplines: adults who are willing to give their time, money, and energy in its support.

Music participation provides unique opportunity for literacy preparation. Whether the children are singing, playing, or listening, teachers direct them to listen and hear in new ways which exercise their aural discrimination. Playing instruments and adding movement to the lessons teaches children about sequential learning which is essential in reading comprehension.

Together we can assure every child access to a well-rounded education-one that includes music. Music is a core subject and should be taught to all students. You have the power to make this happen. Thank you for your continued support.

Destination Science each year donates a portion of summer camp sign ups to REEF. Destination Science Camps are available in our area all summer. When you book your camp days be sure to tell them REEF sent you. To register: call 888-909-2822, For more information: visit www.destinationscience.org.

REEF is a Smart Partner with the Smart Foundation. Our music instrument rental night was a huge success. Thank you for participating.

REEF is providing funding for a music enrichment program for Grades K-3 for half the 2008-09 school year! Each class will have music instruction for one half hour per week. We are excited to have Mrs. Sue Christman-Morris as the music teacher. She will be teaching our students to read simple rhythmic patterns, find the beat, move to the beat, play percussion instruments in time with the beat, and to sing in unison.

Our goal is to be able to fund the Music Enrichment Program for the second half of the year. We need your help and support to accomplish this goal.

Thank you for your continued support of our fundraisers and feel confident that your donations go directly to benefit the students at Robinson.

If you’d prefer to donate cash, rather than join the REEF fundraisers, your donations are always welcome. Checks can be mailed to REEF at P.O. Box 1012, Trabuco Canyon, CA 92678, or dropped at the school office in an envelope with REEF written on it.
