Roswell North Elementary Foundation Raises Record-Breaking Funds for Education Upgrades The Roswell North Elementary School Foundation (RNEF) raised a record $71,562 during its 2019 Annual Campaign. Records were broken in all categories of giving including family giving, staff giving, and business sponsorships. Now in its tenth year, RNEF is the sole source of funding for the Licata Science Lab, Life Science Extension (chefs lab), and the RNE Garden including the salary of full-time science and garden teacher, Liz Rains. RNEF raises money by soliciting donations as well as hosting a yearly Spring Soire and Auction, which will be held May 1 this year at Ivy Hall. In addition to the labs and garden, this year RNEF will fund the construction of a fully covered outdoor classroom. Project planning is already underway and will be submitted for review this month. We are so grateful to the Roswell North community for their overwhelming support of the science labs and garden, says RNEF President Lyndsay Slocum.
