9th
Annual Golf Classic to
Fund
Engineering Program at
Middle School
This year REF will commit
the proceeds of this
upcoming 9th
Annual Golf Classic to
launch a three-year
initiative to fund a
pre-engineering program a
Pond Road Middle School,
which will result in
seamless technology
education for students in
grades 6 through 12.
The R.E.F., in
collaboration with the
Board of Education’s
former Partners in
Education committee,
previously raised
$76,721.90 to fund
pre-engineering at
Robbinsville High
School, known as Project
Lead the Way. That
funding commitment
lasted from 2004 to
2009.
This commitment, which
will span three years,
will require the REF to
raise $61,060 to fully
fund the middle school
program.
“We are very grateful
for our strong
partnership with the
Robbinsville Education
Foundation, they are
helping us move forward
with a very strong
program in math,
science, and technology
through their support
and funding for Project
Lead the Way. Thanks to
their support, the high
school FIRST Robotics
program is meeting with
high levels of success
in their competitions,
but more importantly the
students involved are
gaining acceptance to
the most competitive
colleges, universities,
and technical schools.”

Schools
