THE NEED
All children deserve access to a quality education that prepares them for college, work and life. Children right here in Northwest Arkansas need your help. Donate to the Rogers Public Education Foundation – you have an amazing opportunity to make a real, lasting impact on their lives.
While their basic needs are met, all too often our classroom teachers are forced to use their own resources to purchase programs or materials to enrich their classroom teaching. The grants awarded by the RPEF benefit every child in the Rogers School District, including Lowell and Garfield. Teachers who are awarded grants are able to enhance learning for each child in their classroom for multiple years without having to spend money out of their own pockets.
