Welcome back Running Springs families!
We look forward to another fun and exciting year, albeit as we continue to navigate the ongoing pandemic. In the coming weeks, we will share information with you about upcoming events and other plans for the school year.
The Education Foundation invests in Running Springs Elementary to empower its students, teachers and staff to innovate in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM). In this regard, since its inception in 2016, the Education Foundation has focused on increasing technology and tech-based programs at Running Springs.
We have an incredible school community and hope you’ll volunteer with us to enhance our kids’ educational experience.
During the next few weeks, our website is being revised so please bear with us. Meanwhile, if you have any questions, please contact any one of our Board Members or email us at admin@edfundah.org.
