The Ringwood Educational Foundation (REF) was started in 1993 by former members of the Ringwood Board of Education and is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. REF maintains a member Board of Trustees, volunteering their efforts for fundraising, on behalf of the Ringwood School District. Their efforts supplement existing curriculum within the Ringwood School system, through teacher submitted grant requests. Since the early 1990's, the Foundation has supported a wide range of teacher projects, that support the arts, writing, reading, phyisical education and STEM in our classrooms.
