2nd Annual Fall Giving Campaign
For 2021-22, we're asking all families and friends of JRMS to consider making a contribution help us complete the construction of "Project COOL".
​
What is Project COOL? Our vision is to build an outdoor learning space that includes an amphitheater with seating for 50 students and a small pavilion (similar to the photo). The idea is to Create an Oasis for Outdoor Learning (hence the name, "Project COOL").

When completed, the learning center will...
-
Create an outdoor classroom that blends with the natural environment;
-
Provide students in grades 5-8 with an opportunity to “get closer” to nature, and be inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds us in Redding;
-
Promote greater understanding of and appreciation for the environment and local wildlife.
​
In addition to regular classroom instruction, the learning center can be used for student concerts, poetry readings, dramatic plays, and special events.
​
Our goal is to raise $50,000 and we're making great progress! As you can see in
the chart, we've already raised more than 60% of the funds required but we need
your help to reach the finish line. Every donation helps, no matter how small!
Your tax-deductible donation can make it possible for us to complete the project
this year which will benefit all students at JRMS for many years to come.
