This Saturday, The Royal Oak Schools Foundation will deliver a haul of fresh veggies, honey, eggs, peaches or salts right to your door. Order now and your haul will arrive Saturday morning. It benefits The Royal Oak Schools Foundation. We provide assistance and opportunities for Royal Oak Students, Faculty and Facilities. Our other fundraisers have all been cancelled due to the COVID-19 crisis, so we have pivoted to vegetable delivery to raise funds. Be part of something great and get your veggie haul this Saturday!!
PIZZA!! A very big Thank You to the folks at Blaze Pizza in Downtown Royal Oak. Next week, everyone who orders the Veggie Haul also receives a certificate good for a FREE BLAZE PIZZA!! They called us and said "we love what your are doing and we want to thank everyone who donates". So they sent us plenty of certificates ... enough we probably won't run out. PEACHES!! Cherry season is over, but Peach season is here! I know, life is like a peach ... fuzzy on the outside, most and juicy on the inside but deep down it's really the pits. Starting this week, and all through August, we will bring a quart of Peaches right to your porch for only $7.00. Just choose the items and pay touch free before 5:00PM on Friday and we will deliver to your home that Saturday Morning. We limit our delivery range to 7 miles from the Royal Oak Farmers Market but will accommodate pick up from those further away. VEGGIES IN AUGUST August brings an entire new group of vegetables to the Royal Oak Farmer's Market. Now you can look for Beans, Beets, Broccoli, Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliflower, Celery, Corn, Cucumbers, Greens, Eggplant, Leafy Lettuce, Leeks, Garlic, Mushrooms, Green Onions, Peppers, Potatoes, Radishes, Spinach, Squash, Tomatoes, and Turnips. Plus, more FRUIT will be in season starting with Cherries, Cantaloupe and more! More to come later in the month!! We never know what the farmers are going to bring to the market so your haul is always a surprise. If you want to look ahead, here's a list of what veggies are in season each month from the Royal Oak Farmer's Market. Enjoy! |

ROSF Donates $6000 more 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.
Facebook Day Of Giving raises $2525 for ROSF
Thank you to the 50 people who donated on Facebook's #DayOfGiving #GivingTuesday on Tuesday May 5th. We had a goal of raising $2500 before the end of Giving Tuesday and it came right down to the wire, but we made it due to your generosity. The money will be used to assist the Royal Oak Schools Community during this time of need. Stay Tuned! Tuesday May 26th will be a giving Tuesday to raise $1500 with a portion of the proceeds going to help fund a senior gift for the class of 2020 whose Graduation Ceremony was cancelled due to the COVID-19 Virus.

The Coronavirus outbreak closing schools has had many effects on our student population and their families. Our mission is enriching lives through enhanced educational opportunities for the Royal Oak Public School Community. During this time, students are unable to physically attend class or get lunches and supplies that are normally provided at school.
During our board meeting on March 31, 2020, we were forced to announce the cancellation of our 2020 Royal Oak Schools Foundation Golf Outing. |

This is our largest fundraiser and we will need to create a replacement for it in the fall. Suggestions are welcome. Also during the meeting we were forced to cancel our largest philanthropic effort for 2020. The only benefit to this is that we had some available funds to assist organizations helping the Royal Oak Schools Communities NOW!
The Coronavirus has disrupted our school routines, and some families in the area rely on our schools for meals in addition to a fine education. Royal Oak Schools provide lunch five days a week for families in need through the Feed Our Kids program (click link for details).
However there are some families that still have additional needs and these are being met in part by two organizations in Royal Oak; Blessings in a Backpack and Royal Oak Youth Assistance (ROYA). The Royal Oak Schools Foundation is providing a $10,000.00 gift divided between these two worthy organizations.
Blessings in a Backpack is making hundreds of supplemental food deliveries during the crisis to Royal Oak Schools families in need. We are providing funding for the organization to procure food and packaging to continue their efforts during the crisis

Royal Oak Youth Assistance is ready and willing to help our schools community as we all move into uncharted territory together. ROYA is making available emergency needs grants of $200 per child, available for families with children under 17 who live in Royal Oak or attend Royal Oak Schools. These grants can help pay for housing, utilities, groceries, medication, etc. for families that who are facing an economic crisis during this pandemic.
ROSF is happy to provide funds to these great organizations during this time of need, but are sad to lose our largest fundraiser. If you would like to donate to the Royal Oak Schools Foundation, just click here.

The 2020 Royal Oak Schools Foundation Golf Outing
Cancelled
The board of the Royal Oak Schools Foundation voted unanimously in our March meeting to cancel the 2020 Foundation Golf Outing. It was decided that it would be too dificult to continue with the hardship that the Coronavirus Pandemic placed on our sponsors, donors, district employees and helpers.
We are planning on returning with the 2021 Golf Outing when things get back to normal. Thank you much for your thoughts during these trying times and we hope that everyone in the School Community stays healthy and safe this spring and summer.
