And where does all that money go? Thirty percent of each year’s campaign goes directly to the Booster Club to support our athletic teams, programs and facilities. The remaining funds are distributed by the School Improvement Team, or SIT, based upon requests from the faculty and staff. Last year’s purchases take up four single-spaced pages! Here are just a FEW examples:
| Document Cameras | Technology Upgrades | Classroom Libraries |
| Needy Student Fund | Digital Drawing Tablets | Media Center Resources |
| Lab Equipment | Art Supplies | Scheduling Systems |
| Classroom Supplies | Musical Scores | New Software Programs |
| Calculators | Presentation Supplies | Gfeller Performing Arts Series |
| Two Senior Scholarships | And, last but not least….. | Staff Appreciation!!! |
Your gifts really do enrich the lives of each and every RJR student! In the words of Joshua Bragg, Chemistry teacher and Chairman of the SIT:
“The money from the Legacy Campaign helps me offer a proper lab experience in my Chemistry classes.However, it is not only my classes that benefit. My story is duplicated through all of Reynolds. The money the School Improvement Team approves from the Legacy Campaign for instructional supplies touches practically every classroom in the school.”
Legacy Campaign materials were mailed in early August. The campaign has several giving levels, all of which include“incentives” such as tickets to the Homecoming picnic, Village Tavern gift cards, performing arts and sports passes – there’s something for everyone!! (Click here to view the giving levels and a pledge card.)
