Thanks to all of the golfers and sponsors that made our first trip to Metamora Golf And Country Club a big success!! While mother nature tease us with thunderstorms up until 5AM and kept the wind, clouds and light rain blowing through the entire outing, we got all 18 holes in with 80 golfers and enjoyed a nice BBQ outdoors after the golf.

ROYAL OAK SCHOOLS FOUNDATION AND ROYAL OAK DOWNTOWN DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY THANK ROYAL OAK SCHOOLS EMPLOYEES FOR 2020 EFFORT WITH A GIFT
|
2020 had been a tough year by any measure. But imagine being a teacher, or school employee during 2020. Shifting from in class learning to e-learning in a matter of weeks, keeping students safe when they returned to the classroom, feeding children who miss their daily school lunch, pivoting and informing thousands of students of the changing schedule and agenda. It is an effort that deserves recognition.
The Royal Oak Schools Foundation is providing a holiday gift of $30 in Downtown Dollars partially funded by the Royal Oak Downtown Development Authority to over 600 Royal Oak Schools employees to show our appreciation of their extra effort this year educating and supporting Royal Oak Schools Students. “We asked some of the teachers what they needed this holiday season” said Scott Brown, current President of the Royal Oak Schools Foundation, “they said that they would like to cook one less meal or have one less present to buy ... take something off their plate so they could enjoy their reduced free time” While brainstorming possible gift ideas, a board member suggested the DDA’s Downtown Dollars program. For $20, you can purchase $30 in Downtown Dollars to be spent at any of the participating Downtown Royal Oak businesses. The DDA funds the additional $10 as part of their program. It was an opportunity to reward our teachers and school employees for their efforts and help our Downtown retailers during a particularly difficult year. Each employee will be receiving $30 to spend at participating downtown Royal Oak merchants on whatever they choose, a meal, a gift, a hairstyling, a yoga class ... even a dog grooming. The possibilities are endless in Downtown Royal Oak. Thanks to each Royal Oak Schools teacher, para-professional, psychologist, counselor, social worker, occupational therapist, physical therapist, speech therapist, custodian, maintenance, building secretary and central office staff member will receive an email from the Foundation and the Authority rewarding them with a download of $30 in Downtown Dollars as a small token of our thanks and recognition of their efforts this year While the Royal Oak Downtown Development Authority and The Royal Oak Schools Foundation made this gift possible, funds for this gift were raised this summer during the Foundation’s “Farmers Market Haul” program which delivered fresh vegetables directly to doorsteps during the pandemic. So really, it’s a gift from all the residents to the teachers and staff of Royal Oak Schools. |

ROSF 2020-Donates $12,000 to Royal Oak Youth Assistance
ROYA has been an important safety net in our community for years. COVID-19 has tested their ability to care for our school community with so many additional families in need. The Royal Oak Schools Foundation (ROSF) initially donated $6000 at the onset of the crisis to provide Royal Oak Youth Assistance with the necessary funds to make it through the school year. As summer is now upon us the need has not slowed so we have made an additional $6000 donation to ROYA to help get them through the summer. In COVID, the great need of ASSISTANCE stood out. ROSF donated $12,000, over the year for the benefit of our kids, their families and our school system!
