Clearly, RPDS is an educational community that provides the superior programming and educators required to stimulate three pillars: cognitive growth, spiritual formation and physical accomplishment. We seek to grow as a school of exceptional balance that cements broad and solid foundations in each of

these three arenas. Internally, we often reflect that our strength as a school and in the preparation of contented, happy and successful children is derived from the unity of these three stanchions. I am proud of our faculty, staff and student body for the commitment each makes to healthy maturation. I am equally thankful for each parent, grandparent and supportive friend of RPDS that has contributed to our success. As you enjoy this summary of our year now concluded, may you be reminded often of the joy that is alive in our RPDS community!

Headmaster’s MESSAGE

RIVERSIDEREVIEW2014-15

Someone has written, “When you want something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve neverdone.” In my seven years at RPDS we have boldly embraced new ideas, innovative curricula, imaginativedreams and creative methodologies to capture the enthusiasm of children and to enliven our physicalsurroundings and facilities. The result continues to be an educational community afire with the joy ofteaching and learning, and one that is mission-centered and hope-filled.

Prolific business management guru Tom Peters recently charged his readers, “you better be trying stuff atan insanely rapid pace.... Relentless experimentation was probably important in the 1970s—now it’s do or die.”He, of course, is directing the business of business and not the education of children. Regardless, the artof leadership remains the knowledge to select the areas for experimentation and those best served by“hands off.” However, as we prepare this generation of students for the challenges it will face, it is essential that schools like RPDS are nimbly adept at seeking rejuvenation, refreshment and relevance. In the pages that follow, you will find numerous examples of an academic year filled with “first times.”Opportunities have been seized, dreams realized and seeds planted. To be sure, there have been risks and pitfalls; however, the rewards have yielded a stronger school and one better positioned to educatethe contemporary child.

PassagesI am constantly amazed at how quickly time passes. Wasn’t it justyesterday that the usual group of students, parents, family members,teachers, staff and administration joined together as RPDS stakeholders in Kissling Hall to celebrate Sundae Monday? The eventwas fraught with all the nervous anticipation of what may come.

Spin the dial and here we are, looking back at the 2014 – 2015school year. And what a great year it was, filled with bright-eyed students learning to navigate new social and academic norms. Caringparents and other family members were learning and giving as theirbeautiful students morphed personalities, sometimes daily. I want toexpress my thanks to the ever-thoughtful faculty, always reaching forexcellence in every aspect of their profession as they delivered theutmost school experience to their students every day. Hats off tothe caring school staff that went above and beyond the call of dutyby giving 110% simply because it was in their DNA. I recognize ourawesome administration for being ever diligent in exploring new avenues to academic excellence. Lastly, I extend my deepest gratitude to the Board of Trustees for their tireless contributions toward the betterment of our school.

During the past year, the future sustainability of independent schools such as ours has been a topic often discussed atthe Board level. It is a fact that the landscape is certainly changing for our institution and others. That being said, on themorning of May 29th, 2015 I stood in the Riverside Sanctuary and witnessed an incredible gathering of the finest youngmen and women as they beamed with eagerness, pride, joy and possibility. I was truly humbled by these beautiful souls.They remind me of the light in the world and of a rite of passage here at Riverside that, as I see it, is most certainly aliveand well.

2015 Bo Cotton Award HonoreeAnthony Franklin

Congratulations to RPDS 5th and 6th grade history teacher, Anthony Franklin, recipient of the 2015 Bo Cotton Award.

A long-standing RPDS tradition, this award is presented everyyear to one outstanding RPDS faculty member for excellence inteaching as voted by his or her peers. The 2015 honor goes to Mr. Franklin, who has served Riverside Presbyterian Day Schoolstudents for the past 15 years.

It is difficult to imagine a teacher more invested in fostering each individual student’s love of learning. Tony’s rapportwith his students is rooted in the depth of his caring, which works to fuel each lesson and experience. Each adventure in Mr. Franklin’s classroom, on a Washington, DC trip or while serving within Project Leads is an opportunity to help achild love to learn, in full expectation that learning will become self-driven. Tony is tireless in his dedication to RPDS. He is known for his willingness to drop everything to help a child or an adult colleague. He is an amazing teacher, ahumble professional and a kind leader.

The RPDS family is so very grateful for Mr. Franklin!

2015 J. Beatty Williams Outstanding Service Award

Joanne Kanobroski

In honor of her thirty-two years of service to Riverside Presbyterian Day School, Joanne Kanobroski earned theJ. Beatty Williams Outstanding Service Award. Joanne haspoured herself into RPDS, thereby winning the hearts of all she serves.

Sixty-six years ago, Dr. Albert Kissling and the Riverside Presbyterian Church Session dreamed of starting a day school.They asked J. Beatty Williams, the volunteer chairman of the Educational Committee to assume leadership to ensure theschool’s formation. The foundation of RPDS was built quite literally upon Christian love, spiritual focus, selfless serviceand educational excellence. Each time this award is given it honors both the foundational service of J. Beatty Williamsand the latest contemporary RPDS servant.

The Riverside family offers a most heartfelt thanks to Mrs. Joanne Kanobroski for her countless hours shared in serviceand for her joyful spirit and dedication to the mission, goals and aspirations of RPDS.

The moment the faculty arrived on campus this past August, we could see that something special was in store. Our hands, hearts, and minds logo had a new look. It was now in the shape of a heart and no longer blue, but bright red. At the opening faculty meeting, Headmaster Palmer Bell announced that 2014-2015

would be “the year of the heart.” Tears were shed as teachers shared moments fromtheir summers that had touched them. These moments were written on hearts and attached to a cross in the front office.

At our opening assembly on August 20th the students, teachers and staff were told of our year-long celebration and asked to complete aheart each time they glimpsed the “heart of Riverside” at school. These acts of kindness could be physical, emotional or spiritual. Teachers actedout specific examples and then Mr. Bell issued the challenge! Could we have enough paper hearts by the end of the year to circle The Rice SportsZone?

Red, pink and white hearts began to fill “heart jars” in classrooms and lounges. While students enjoyed being recognized with aheart, they soon discovered that giving a heart also made them happy. The jars were being filled, but how were we doing with

the challenge? When the first trimester ended each classroom attached their hearts to ribbon and took them to chapel to see if there would be enough to circle the sanctuary. The hearts not only circled the sanctuary, they continued down the aisles.

Soon the ribbon was mounted in the Kissling Gallery where students, faculty and visitors could read thecompleted hearts. Walking down the gallery they saw all the things kids do for each other that arethe “Heart of Riverside.” Little things that make a heart swell to bursting and show what it takes

to create a caring, supportive and successful community.

When May arrived we all began to wonder, had we met the challenge? Would thehearts reach around The Rice Sports Zone? We also realized that it didn’t matter. Thehearts had reached deep into the Riverside Presbyterian Day School community. They hadreached hundreds of needy individuals in the Jacksonville community as we served thepoor. They had reached thousands in the global community as we helped fund research tofind the cure for leukemia.

On May 22, 2015 there was an air of excitement and nervousness as classes filed outof buildings and onto the Rice Sports Zone. As the minutes passed and the circle grew itsoon became apparent that we had met and exceeded the challenge!

The 2014-2015 school year will be remembered as “the year of the heart.” This wasthe year we focused on all the small things that shape the “Heart of RPDS.”

Sixth grade at RPDS is a year of great opportunities. Truly, I mean many great opportunities!There are so many special events, assignments, and trips that are planned for our sixth graders. Ilooked up the word opportunity and I found the definition to be – “a favorable or advantageous combination of circumstances.” When I read that definition I thought definitely sixth grade is anopportunity - an advantageous combination - for our students. You can think of RPDS and the student experiences here as being one huge opportunity, and their sixth grade year is just our final set of circumstances to mold and polish our students and ready them for the next step.

I like to think of the sixth grade year as our students’ senior year. They are at the top of theschool; they sit in the balcony at Chapel and they are looked up to by the younger students, bothliterally and figuratively. They serve throughout the year all across campus as patrols, ELC Aides, Library Aides, and Chapel Guides. This connection between our sixth graders and all the others oncampus is a very important experience that adds to everyone’s opportunity here at RPDS.

Not only do our students serve around the school but in sixth grade they are given the opportunity to participate in Project Leads, a programdeveloped to further grow students as servant leaders in our surrounding community. Our leadership training begins with an overnight trip inSeptember to Southwind, a Young Life camp in Ocklawaha, Florida. Our retreat goal include providing our sixth graders with an opportunity for

personal growth, team growth, and an understanding of how we are called by God to bethe hands and feet of Christ. Project Leads continues in October with two and half daysof service out in the community. The leadership team of faculty, administrators and staffserve along side the students in a variety of agencies nearby. The final phase of ProjectLeads continues from January through early May. During this time there are about 12 – 15 volunteer service opportunities after school for our sixth graders.

As sixth grade teachers, one essential opportunity that we provide is to academically prepare students for the next step. Each teacher works to cover the curriculum and prepare these sixth graders to move on to middle school. With that in mind special projects are planned. Two long-rangeprojects that students face in 6th

grade are the Science Fair in the fall and a research paper in the spring. Each of these isstretched over a 3-4 month period with deadlines and mini-goals to help keep thempaced. Our annual “egg drop” is a chance for sixth grade scientists to design and build a device that will protect an egg as it is being dropped from the William’s Building roof. Another special opportunity that 6th Graders are given is the chance to participate in debates in History. They learn persuasive speaking techniques and the ability to look at a topic from multiple points of view.

The DC trip is a wonderful opportunity for learning and growing friendships. We spendfive days on the trip touring DC, Gettysburg, Annapolis and Baltimore. It is a very busytime, but it gives the teachers an opportunity to spend time with the 6th graders and interact with them in a different environment. Students discover an education is personal, interactive and not bound by classroom walls.

As we look to foster the whole child, several opportunities are presented for our studentsto express themselves creatively. The 6th graders fill the cast roles in our 5th and 6thgrade play while musical accompaniment is provided by the 5th grade. The sixth grade students also showcase their art in May during in a three day Art Show.

When May arrives in the life of a sixth grader it is an unbelievably flurry of activity and excitement. They begin designing a class t-shirt to represent their memories of RPDS.They work on their skits for Flying Chapel where they express in their own words theirfeelings about RPDS before they jump off the stage and fly away. There is the Service Appreciation Luncheon where students are presented with bronze, silver or gold levels

of the President’s Volunteer Serviceaward. At this luncheon they alsoreceive their yearbooks, a full day before everyone else in the school, and view a “SpecialMemories” video compiled of pictures of each student through their RPDS years.

Sixth Graders are NOT done yet! The last week of school involves Swimming with theManatees, a Reading Auction, Honors Chapel and finally Graduation. The Manatee trip and the Reading Auction have become historical “rights of passage” here and are our lastchances to spend time with the class before graduation.

The 6th Grade year is multi-faceted, uniquely balanced and a culmination of a uniqueRPDS education. It is a wonderful experience as an educator to lead, watch, and mentorthese students through their last year here; to see how the opportunity of RPDS has readied them to fly and to be prepared for all God has planned for them.

Sally Van Cleve, RPDS Alumnus ‘07, visited the Dominican Republic on a highschool missions trip in 2010. She was immediatley impacted by the needs ofthe people there. Shortly after her second trip to the country in 2011, shestarted her own business called “WATERring the World.”

Sally designed a ring that uses minerals native to the Domincan Republic. Thelight blue mineral, larimar, represents clean water, while the amber symbolizesthe dirty water. So far, she has sold around 85 rings! Her mission is to use theproceeds from her business to install water filtration systems for an orphanage she worked with during her trips and then, hopefully, to expand throughout Hispaniola.

“When these people have access to clean water, it cuts the time they have totake out of their day that they have to search for it,”Van Cleve says. “They canfocus that time on other beneficial things. Water is something that is so crucial tolife and the gift of water truly does give people the gift of life.”

Sally is currently a junior at Queens University of Charlotte where she isdouble majoring in international studies and spanish, while minoring in entrepreneurship. She plans to move to the Dominican Republic after graduation and continue her efforts for those in need. For more informationon “WATERring the World” please visit http://www.waterringtheworld.com.

Once upon a time, RPDS kindergarten students traveled to acastle dressed in their finest royalclothing. As they prepared forknighthood they gracefully sippedtea from miniature china cups atlavish miniature-scaled dining roomtables and recited poetry. Preciousmemories like these are shared instories that are imagined andreimagined as they playfully stimulate creativity. The power ofstorytelling is not limited to RPDS.One notable foundation, the National Storytelling Network (NSN) emerged in the early 1970’s dedicated to promoting the art of storytelling as “a process of cultural transformation.” The group’svision frames its work as “connecting people to and through storytelling.” RPDS students love toconnect with their peers through storytelling.

Today at RPDS, our “Castle” is a creative physical and digital classroom where materials and activities excite natural student curiosity and a love of storytelling to empower our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) experiences for our youngest students.Such storytelling lies at the heart of what I refer to as our vision to inspire in children a “design-systems mindset” throughout RPDS. In our contemporary Castle, students must imagine,design, create, refine, explain and disassemble physical and virtual worlds; the stories our studentscreate to reflect upon their experiences are foundational to the educational process.

Every day at RPDS, young students share stories through an intermingling of digital and physicaltools. On the journey students learn; however, they also learn to learn in teams. Come, as I share a glimpse of how one activity unfolded to guide children’s stories within our Design Systems curriculum.

“Today, we are going to tell our Spring Break adventures using ROK Blocks and Thinglink,” I announce to thepre-kindergarten and kindergarten design engineers.” Students immediately, independently, organizethemselves into work groups and begin interpreting the day’s challenge. Children spend about tenpercent of their time preparing in the whole group setting to support various developmental skill-sets including: numeracy, literacy, designing, engineering, visualization, collaboration, executive function and assembling background knowledge. An important aspect of each challenge’s leadingquestions is to foster each student’s executive function skills,such as the sense of time and how thepassage of time “feels.” Therefore, students must decide how to split their work time efficiently.

Welcome to the C STLE!

Work teams collaboratively create ipad timers to remind of the need to move between “mid-work,” “preparing to move on,” and “ending our work time.” In this way we always try to work for half of our timeand to save time for reflections during the other half.

Students enthusiastically jump into action! Our young engineers opt to work independently or in partnerships of threes or fours as students talk, build, re-engineer, check-in with peers for ideas and thenthey emerge from their shared workspaces with their Spring Break stories. As students finish this first stageof self-paced designing, they select reflection partners and work with them in quiet spaces to begin recording their reflections using ipads and the Thinglink application, a camera app, or other creative reflection tools. Students snap a picture of their “story-builds” and then add many “touch points” to thecaptured images in the form of self-taken videos. Soon the partners swap the roles of videographer and interviewee, sometimes taking selfies as well! Students discuss their design process, shapes, numeracy, reallife experiences and a variety of their personal

thoughts in one minute “touch point” videos linked to the initial image. I then assist partners to upload theirThinglinks to our web based “shared Design Reflection channel” and time permitting, we watch a few reflections projected from student ipads before saving them all for future reminiscing. We often analyze howand why we choose to communicate with our device tools (airplay, Apple TV, wired projectors, Macbooks,ipads and other digital devices). After sharing our reflections we begin the “un-building” process.

I encourage students to think of our design-space challenges as a “sandbox process”, building up in the sand,smoothing out, rebuilding again (perhaps with remnants of another’s build) or with enhanced ideas. Prior toun-building, I remind students of their early estimates of the numbers of Rok Blocks they thought each variable or characteristic of their story would take. As our blocks are unassembled we report the accuracy of those estimates as we prepare to leave the Castle STEAM Design Space.

In the ELC Castle, we do not raise hands. We use our design space to practice our respect for the ideas ofothers by active listening and by “putting ourvoices on” when needed in quiet space and “turning our voices off” when someone else is speaking. A respectful, active classroom honors the teacher’s voice and the voices of classmates. Finally, each studentshares a “word or sentence on their mind” with me as we end our time together for the day! I am alwaysamazed at the insights and connections shared by young children as we wonder together!

This glimpse of one day’s story building design activity provides insight into the creative world of early learners. I designed our curriculum to spiral and be adaptive to each group’s daily needs. Each day, new stories are told through building projects and reflected upon. Our children are invisibly developing their design-systems-mindsets utilizing creative play with traditional and digital tools as well as computer coding,robotics and real life interactions! Words alone do not effectively paint the full color story of the RPDSchild’s ELC STEAM learning experiences in this contemporary Castle. Please visit us virtually or in personto experience our world first-hand any time!

It all began with four teachers and a dream – build upon past science nights, to create Science Night 2015 as a celebration of the interplay between science, technology, engineering, art and math. We traveled toBoston for the National Science Teachers Association conference for threedays. We decided to divide and conquer, gleaning to as many ideas as wecould from the variety of workshops available. Each night, we would reconvene and discuss our experiences. Our collaboration led to a new concept - Family STEAM Night 2015. By the time our plane landed in Jacksonville, we had created the foundation for an exciting evening STEAMadventure.

We elected to utilize a fairy tale to create lessons across all subjectareas. We decided that Family STEAM Night 2015 should begin with a spe-cial version of “The Three Little Pigs.” In our version,

the three little pigs moved to Floridaand their mother reminded them to watchout for the “Hurricane Wolves.” The play camealive with music and the amazing talent of our faculty. Ourintroductory skit concluded with a challenge from the three little pigs – “Can you help usbuild a house that can withstand three hurricane simulations?”

Families accepted the challenge and entered the second session where they receiveda bag of supplies to build their houses. They were given a combination of supplies that included paper, foam sheets, popsicle sticks and index cards. Some families received hotglue gun tickets while others received tape tickets. The variety of building materials encouraged creativity from the students and their parents. Each family worked as a teamto turn its ideas into 3-dimensional models.

Houses were then carried to our last session where they were “hurricane tested.” If a house did not passa test, families were given the opportunity to revise, repair and test again. Each house was sequentially tested and had to survive three “hurricanes:” a fan, a hair dryer and finally, a leaf blowerand watering can downpour. Forty-six houses survived! These houses were then put on display for

the school to enjoy while a social media vote was conducted to choose the winning house design and its builders.

It was our hope that the evening would explore with parents a representative example of the daily student experiences in the RPDS Imagination Station STEAM Lab. When families arrived for Family STEAM Night 2015, they wereintentionally given a very brief overview of the night, but no real directions. Family teams entered the first session withlooks of bewilderment and wonder as they questioned what they had signed up for. When the families left, they werealive with broad smiles as they remembered the excitement of the evening, which sparkled in the children’s eyes as theyproudly displayed their “I Survived” stickers.

Our dream was that our little plan born in Boston would become a night of family collaboration that caused parents to understand and fall in love with the RPDS STEAM program. Mission accomplished! Our students and familiesalso left filled with the poise to accept new challenges. As teachers, we strive to instill in our students the confidence tolet their potential shine. Family STEAM Night did just that!

Thank you to all the families who were able to join us for Family STEAM Night.

We look forward to continuing to inspire RPDS students and families to apply the lessons of STEAM

throughout daily adevntures.

The BIG news out of the Admission Office is that our enrollment is on the rise forthe first time since 2008! We believe this success is attributed to many new ideasexplored by the Admission Office in the 2014-15 school year.

One of the most noticeable additions came in the form of a subtraction. We threwout all paper enrollment forms and moved everything online. This transition madere-enrollment much easier for our current families. In just the first three weeks 80%of our families had re-enrolled. We usually don’t see this type of re-enrollment

percentage until mid-April or early May. Our goal was to make the process as quick and easy as possible for families and the feedback from ourparent community has been overwhelmingly positive.

Another first for the Admission Office was the launch of our video enhanced online viewbook. This digital version is a new way to stay competitive and on the cutting edge, while making an immediate impact to all new family inquiries. Furthermore, our materials can be updatedcontinually. Since its launch in November, our viewbook has had over 10,000 views with over 60% of traffic coming from mobile devices. Ourprespective parents are on the go and seeking accessibility to information from a variety of outlets and our online viewbook does just that!

Although our changes online have been successful, the main goal this year was to reach a wideraudience. We accomplished this by trying new avenues in advertising, which we believe hashelped bolster inquiries and new enrollments. Our largest advertising campaign utilized clickable banners on the frequently visited website of First Coast News. These banners generated over 76,000 views within a three month campaign. Printed advertisements onMetro Diner’s placemats and in multiple editions of Family Magazine were other new venturesused. The Family Magazine alone has more than 600 distribution points on the First Coast allowing us to reach a wider, more diverse population. Although our student body travels from37 zipcodes, these ideas have increased the interest and attendance from across the region.

It has certainly been a busy year in the Admission Office and one filled with many exciting firsts.We could not be more thrilled about the future. We believe the entire RPDS community ispart of the Admission team and even with all these changes, our parents are still the BEST ambassadors. We look forward to serving your family, and all of our many NEW families, thisupcoming school year!

THE RPDS FAMILY PARTNERSHIPFostering Community

Through the Riverside Parents Association (RPA), RPDS encourages parents and grandparents to share in the daily educational life of their children and grandchildren.

Opportunities to have lunch together, to serve as a homeroom parent or to chaperone a field trip, are examples of the myriad ways parent and grandparent volunteers support RPDS on a daily basis.

We are deeply appreciative to all of our volunteers for their strong leadership, and generous investment of time and talent on behalf of RPDS – such advocacy, participation and generosity make a big difference in the life of our students and the entire Riverside community.

There are a variety of volunteer roles available for all interests, skill sets and levels of availability, so we hope you will find the right fit for you, or suggest a new way you would like to volunteer.

To learn more or to complete the online volunteer form, please visit www.rpds.com/rpa.

During the 2015 STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts and Math) Night (see pg. 18 for anoverview of STEAM Night), Headmaster Bell announced the exciting news that a generous donor hadgiven a $20,000 gift to the RPDS STEAM program. The donor asked that the gift be highlighted in away that would inspire others in the Riverside community to help raise additional funds and feed thepassion for the then four-month-old program.

To reach and inspire as many people as possible, we decided to use a fundraising method that has beentrending predominately at the university level – a campaign based entirely within social media such asFacebook, Twitter and e-mail.

An entire school week (April 27-May 1, 2015) was devoted to this new Promise Week campaign, withthe hope that it would become an annual fundraising week for Riverside. Our initial goal for the campaign was to raise $10K by May. Prior to launch, an additional $10,000 was raised from generousdonors so that a successful RPDS Promise Week would result in doubling the original $20,000 gift.

By Elizabeth Ingram,Director of Advancement

Our STEAM Imagination Station fosters hands-onand creative solutions to challenges, therefore wewanted our campaign to be visual, to transmit excitement and to involve each child in the STEAM program.

To share what STEAM looks like across every gradelevel, all students participated in building Wonder,the RPDS Robot. Each student in grades 1-6 was responsible for contributing a specific attributeand/or physical piece of Wonder. For example, 5thgrade designed the blueprint for Wonder andhelped decide his scale. Other grades were responsible for deciding how his arms and legsshould function, and identifying how to use technology to allow him to speak and have movingparts. Students from every grade, including our tiniest artists in PreK-3, decorated Wonder with a“tile” depicting one of their own “Wonders.”

Each day of the week-long campaign, a video of Wonder’sprogress was shared via e-mail, Facebook and Twitter. Thesevideos showcased our students in action creating and thenmaking Wonder “come to life.” Other daily posts to Facebook and Twitter focused on RPDS history, facts aboutSTEAM, alumni pictures, and interactive polls for supportersto add their own “crowd-sourced” ideas.

The amazing result of this campaign was that our original$10,000 goal was surpassed by $15,000…with an astoundingtotal of $25,000 raised in five days during the first-ever RPDSPromise Week! When combined with the original $20,000gift the grand total raised for STEAM in 2014-15 was$55,000!

Many thanks to all of our STEAM supporters for making theinaugural RPDS Promise Week such a spectacular success. If you missed RPDS Promise Week or just want to visit the week again, please visit theRiverside Facebook page at www.facebook.com/rpdsjax and view posts beginning on April 27.

ENDOWED NAMED SCHOLARSHIP FundsEach year RPDS provides nearly $350,000 in need-based financial assistance to students enrolled at the school. Although this assistance is one way that we assure the

broadest possible access to all aspects of our outstanding educational offerings, each year our funds are exhausted before all documented needs can be met. The following named funds are instrumental in allowing the school to provide confidential assistance tailored to the documented needs of individual families.

The Riverside Presbyterian Day school endowment is an aggregation of assets invested by school to support the school’s educational mission in perpetuity. Annually, the RPDS Endowment Fund supports school operations in two prominent ways: 1) providing need-based financial assistance and 2) supporting faculty and curricular development.

All gifts to the Riverside Presbyterian Day School (RPDS) endowment fund are restricted and invested to preserve the corpus of each donation, as well as to ensure that each donor's specific restrictions are honored. In such investing, it is the revenue produced and the appreciation of the fund as a whole that provide support for the operating budget of RPDS.

ENDOWED NAMED FundsThese funds provide support for innovation within the instructional curriculum, so that it remains consistent with the finest educational practices nationally.

Additionally, this fund supports the education and professional growth of the faculty, when curricular advancements require retraining.
