As we begin another school year, the Rolling Hills Elementary Foundation (RHEF) is excited to launch our 2026–2027 Puma Pledge Campaign—our most important fundraiser of the year.

The Puma Pledge begins on the first day of school and culminates during Roar Week in November. During this campaign, we ask every Rolling Hills family to consider making a tax-deductible donation of $200 per student.

What makes the Puma Pledge so important? Unlike other fundraisers, 100% of every dollar donated goes directly back to Rolling Hills Elementary School. Every contribution stays right here, helping provide the exceptional programs, dedicated staff, and enriching experiences that make our school such a special place for our children.

Many families are surprised to learn that some of the programs students enjoy every day are not funded by the school district they are funded by YOUR donations to the Rolling Hills Foundation! These include:

🎨 Art instruction and supplies
🏃 PE instructional support and equipment
🔬 Science consumables and Innovation Lab
🎭 School assemblies
🎶 Music Instructor
📚 Impact Teacher
And many other programs that enrich every student's educational experience

This year, RHEF has committed to investing more than $190,000 in additional staffing, educational resources, and enrichment opportunities that directly benefit every student at Rolling Hills.

Our goal is straightforward: $200 per student. If every family participates, we can fully fund these vital programs and reduce—or even eliminate—the need for additional fundraising throughout the school year. That means more time focused on learning, growing, and building our amazing school community.

We understand that every family's circumstances are different. Whether you can give the full suggested amount or another amount that is meaningful for your family, every donation matters and every gift makes a difference. Our greatest goal is participation, because when our community comes together, incredible things happen for our students.

Your generosity helps ensure that every child at Rolling Hills continues to benefit from the exceptional educational opportunities that have become a hallmark of our school. Your tax-deductible gift is more than a donation—it's an investment in our students, our teachers, and our future.

Thank you for being an essential part of the Rolling Hills community and for supporting our students. Together, we can continue providing the outstanding educational experience every Puma deserves.
