HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We hope you have enjoyed the winter break with your families and loved ones. January seems to bring a time to reflect, a time to reset, and a time to plan. As we look back at 2022 we are proud of what we have accomplished for the school community. STEAM Series, Teacher Grants, Steam Lab support, and more are some of the things we worked hard to provide to students and staff. Looking forward to 2023 we are excited to continue bringing the students and staff at Running Springs Academy STEAM events, resources, and programs. We are constantly looking at new opportunities that would be fulfilling to the school community. As far as we are concerned “The Sky’s the Limit.”
Our 2nd trimester STEAM Series is coming up in February. Our 1st event in the fall was very popular and filled up quickly. We strive to provide opportunities that students love, so we were thrilled to have so many students eager for this event! As soon as the date and events are finalized for our 2nd trimester event a sign-up will be emailed out. More to come on this.
The community golf tournament is one of our biggest events that helps fund many of the programs we provide. There are many ways to show your support through this event. Participation, sponsorships, or being on the planning committee are just a few ways to get involved in this fun event. Please reach out to caitlin@edfundah.org for more information. Date and location to be announced soon!
The Education Foundation of Anaheim Hills wishes you and your family a happy, healthy, prosperous new year!
