Randolph Field
Education Foundation Military Child Benefit Music Festival
Who benefits: The
military children of Randolph Field ISD
The purpose: To support the learning and education of the
military child whose parents have sacrificed selflessly for the freedoms we all
enjoy.
About Randolph
Field ISD and the military child:
Randolph Field ISD is one of 7
districts in the United States that is conterminous with the boundaries of a
military installation. This results in a
Texas independent school district sitting on Air Force property, which means
our district has zero tax payers. Our
district educates 1402 students over three campuses. We are unique in that our student population
is comprised of 98% military connected children.
The military
child’s life is much different than that of most civilians. Being in the military results in several
moves over the life of an active duty member, which creates many social and
emotional issues for their children.
Some military children will change schools nine times before they
graduate. For example, the Randolph
Elementary 2015 fifth grade class had 5 out of 120 students that attended RES
since kindergarten. The challenge for
these students is making new friends every 2-3 years, learning new systems,
which can vary from state to state, and acclimating to new surroundings, which
make a sense of belonging very difficult to achieve. A transient lifestyle coupled with the
realities of deployment create a hardship that is unique to the RFISD students. Many of our students have experienced
multiple deployments, sometimes with both parents deployed simultaneously, and
the parent returning with wartime related physical and emotional damage. Most of us are aware, and grateful for, the
sacrifice an active duty member has given for our freedoms, but many forget the
difficulties that sacrifice places on their children. Our district recognizes those difficulties
and is dedicated to creating the most stable and loving environment possible,
while providing a second to none education to all students.
However, like
most school districts, our funding is limited.
Ours more than others since we do not have a tax base to seek assistance
from. The Randolph Field Education
Foundation exists to support the Randolph Field Independent School District,
financially, through various fund raising events. The foundation is in its inaugural year. We are planning a Military Child Benefit
Music Festival for the RFISD, to be held at the Blue Bonnet Palace in Selma, TX. We are seeking musical artists to perform and
assist us in our fundraising efforts. We
will be hosting a Military Child Benefit Music Festival on Sunday, October 2nd
and would be honored if you would perform. With your talent, we feel confident
we can raise the funds these military children desperately need to make their
educational experience as successful as possible. They, along with their
parents, have given so much, and we could like to show them the proper THANK
YOU!
We ask for you to
graciously consider playing our benefit concert on Sunday, October 2nd
at Blue Bonnet Palace. We will be
selling general admission tickets and VIP tables to this exciting event with
food trucks, food court, silent auction, and much more. We will have the proper security. A donation of your time would greatly be
appreciated. We also understand how difficult it is for such a large donation,
and would be grateful for any generosity and your availability.
Thank you so very
much for your consideration. We are so
blessed to live in the greatest country on Earth and strive to educate children
who have as much dedication and pride as their devoted parents.
