The Foundation for Red Deer Public Schools

Greeting from Board Chair

Our children are our future. We are grateful that our public schools provide excellent teaching and learning that allow students to be inspired to achieve.

With the priorities of our Foundation aligned with the Division's focus on:

• Student Growth and Achievement: The ongoing progress of students’ learning, enable them to engage intellectually, grow continuously as learners, and demonstrate citizenship.
• Teaching and Leading: Apply appropriate knowledge and abilities to make decisions that demonstrate professional practice standards, which result in quality teaching, leading, and optimum learning for all students.
• Learning Supports: Using resources to create optimal learning environments where diversity is embraced, a sense of belonging is emphasized and all students are welcomed, cared for, respected and safe.

There are many opportunities to go “above and beyond for children.” We all want the very best opportunities for our students. That’s what the Foundation is all about, identifying initiatives that make a real difference to students and can generate support from the community. 

We believe these programs are essential in our schools, and we have the opportunity to make a real difference to students. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of students and at the same time, strengthen our community.

It truly does take a village to raise a child. The support for the Foundation from individuals, staff, businesses, service clubs and other organizations is inspiring. We invite you to be a part of our community of supporters and make a difference to students in Red Deer Public Schools.
