Formed in 2009, the Roswell North Elementary
Foundation exists to enrich and support the
academic experience of the students at
Roswell North Elementary School. In 10 years,
we have raised over $500,000!
The Foundation annually funds all costs of
the Licata Science Lab, the Life Science
Extension, and the RNE Garden. RNEF also
funds the 5th Grade Field Trip, dissection
experiments for all grade levels, and other
improvements and initiatives consistent with
the school's strategic plan.
It costs $400 + per day tooperate the labs and the
garden.
Funds raised come fromparents and teachersdonating to the RNEF
Annual Fall Campaign, aSpring Soiree & Auction,
and a growing communityBusiness Sponsorship
Program.

The 2019/2020 school year was filled with exciting new
opportunities for RNE students to connect with one another
through the wonder of science! Highlights include:
The year was not without its struggles. Our fundraising was
cut short due to the COVID-19 Pandemic shutting schools
down in March. The eventual cancellation of our Annual
Spring Soiree was a disappointment; but it led to new
fundraising opportunities for the future, with the addition
of the "Golf FORE Science Classic" Golf Tournament in
August.

Lab & Garden CurriculumLab & Garden Curriculum
Cases of GA grown squash were donated by the
RNE/FCSS Nutrition Department to the Kitchen Lab for
use in cooking demonstrations and taste tests.
Healthy food was used for celebrations- upon the RNEF
reaching their fundraising goal, students celebrated with
a taste test of "Fresh Corn and Black Bean Salsa" at
lunch.
While students were learning at home in March-May,
lessons and content were still being provided in the form
of "make at home" science projects, virtual field trips,
videos of the garden harvest, and MUCH more.
Harvested vegetables were donated to a local restaurant
group who created "Table and Aid." Over 9,000 free
meals were given away to members of the Roswell
community who were in need during the height of the
COVID-19 crisis.
