Treasurer's Report 2025-2026
The 25-26’ school year was incredibly busy for the Rio Del Mar Parent Alliance (RDMPA). The RDMPA raised over $110,000 for our school, kicked-off new initiates, completed years long projects and revamped the RDMPA by-laws and operating procedures. Here we will provide a snapshot of our fundraising efforts and expenditures:
​
Through Direct Ask, Corporate Match and other donations, the RDMPA raised over $18,000. Our incredible fundraising efforts brought in well over $80,000, with our Spring Auction raising near $50,000! The generosity and support of our Rio families, and the broader community resulted in an incredible fundraising year – we are grateful to every family and community member who supported and continue to support our school. Fundraising efforts include Run for Rio ($5.8k), Drive for Schools ($14.8k), Bubble Run ($3.6k), Santa Cruz Warriors Game ($2.8k), See’s Candy ($3.6k), Showcase Seating ($1.4k) and the Harvest Festival ($6.9k).
​
The 25-26’ school year was also a big year for investment in our school and student enrichment. The completion of the new “Blue Park,” playground which has been an RDMPA initiative for years concluded with $25,000 in funding from the RDMPA. Additionally, RDMPA provided Teacher Classroom Supplies ($13k), Yard Duty Support ($22.5k), as well as critical student intervention support ($5k), Scholastic Periodicals ($3.8k), Engage New York Math Supplements ($9k), Cultural Day Celebration ($2.9k) and Lexia software ($7k).
The RDMPA voted to increase classroom supplies and support for the next school year, and to increase funding to community events as well as introduce new community events and school support, in an effort to spend down some budget surplus. The RDMPA has set aside dedicated funds for Visual and Performing Arts events and programming, as well as increased STEAM event funding for our student and staff enrichment.
​
Overall, our community raised approximately $110,000 for the 25-26’ school year and spent approximately $115,000. Additionally, the RDMPA spent $25,000 from our reserve funds for the Blue Park completion, which is not reflected in the $115k noted above. The RDMPA also maintains funding in our accounts for separate functions, such as the Library Fund, the Lily Jacob Fund and the upper grade International Games.
