The Rumson Education Foundation (REF) is hosting its annual Celebration for Education Fundraiser on Saturday, November 19, 2016 from 7:00 to 11:30 p.m. at the Rumson Country Club’s main clubhouse. This year’s theme will be a Speakeasy Casino Night featuring black jack, roulette and craps tables, along with open bar, hors d’oeuvres, dinner, live auction, silent auction, games and prizes.

Since its inception, the REF has raised and granted over $2 million to fund innovative projects, initiatives and equipment that enrich the curriculum and learning environment within the Rumson Public School District. The funds raised from the Celebration for Education will go towards The Innovation Classroom Initiative, a S.T.E.M. based classroom created over the summer in the Forrestdale Middle School. In June, the REF awarded a $63,000 grant to fund Phase I of the Innovation Classroom Initiative, providing students with the setting to learn through collaboration, technology-based problem solving and learning that emulates college and career performance in the 21st century. Phase II of the Innovation Classroom Initiative will include acquisition of additional technology, equipment, and furniture that will bring this project to an exciting completion.
