Congratulations to our teachers whose baskets sold for the highest amount at the Rally for the Rockets silent auction! Our basket winners were: Diana Newton at the Primary, Katie Paradoski at the Elementary, and Katie Wood at the Intermediate!

Each of them will receive a $500 grant from the Education Foundation! Together, the baskets alone raised over $5,700 to support the teachers and students of RISD!

We are so proud of the effort and excitement everyone put into this project, and we can’t thank you enough for helping make this year’s event such a success!

We would like to thank everyone who worked so hard to make the Rally for the Rockets a success! All of our volunteers, donors, and guests did a wonderful job and we are so appreciative to those who made it out to support REF and the Robinson Athletic Booster Club! Thank you to all of our RISD teachers/coaches, room parents, and parents who helped put together the silent auction baskets! Every basket was creative and beautifully put together! We would also like to thank our title sponsors: Greg May Honda, Bush's, K4 Construction, and Parsons Roofing. We could not have done this event without each and every one of you! Thank you!
