Robinson Education Foundation

🎉 WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🎉

We are asking each Robinson ISD classroom (K–6) and each athletic team at the JH and HS to contribute a themed silent auction basket for the Rally for the Rockets event on October 3rd. Funds raised through this event go right back into classrooms for teacher grants and to athletic teams! Baskets will be due Friday, September 25th.

📣 See the flyer for more details and keep an eye out for communication from your principal and your child’s teacher!

Together, we can create amazing baskets while making a meaningful difference for Robinson ISD students and staff! 🚀💙

It is with deep gratitude and heavy hearts that we honor the life and extraordinary legacy of Teresa Arndt. She was a cherished leader, volunteer, and friend. Her unwavering dedication left an indelible mark on our entire community.

Her heart for service was evident long before the Robinson Education Foundation’s inception, shown through her many years of faithful leadership with the RISD PTA and PTO. When REF was established in 2012, she stepped forward as a founding board member, helping guide the organization with grace, vision, and steadfast commitment through 2020.

Her passion truly shone through her tireless devotion to Coronation. Year after year, she poured her heart and creative talent into crafting stunning, beautiful decorations that transformed the event into a magical, unforgettable evening for countless families. She cared deeply about the guest experience from start to finish, meticulously attending to every detail—including taking the initiative to ensure concessions were always stocked and running smoothly so families felt welcomed and cared for. Beyond the beauty of the event, her leadership of Coronation directly fueled multiple scholarships, teacher grants, and vital resources for our teachers and students.

We are endlessly thankful for the way she served others—with an eye for beauty, a heart for hospitality, and a generous spirit that touched everyone around her. Our deepest condolences and prayers are with her family during this time, along with our enduring gratitude for the remarkable legacy she leaves behind.
