Giving Students Opportunities

Foundation for Red Deer Public Schools launches Life Chances Cash Lottery

Sep 10, 2021 | 4:30 PM

The Foundation supports programs that have a significant impact on the life chances of students across the Division.

By purchasing a ticket to support our 50/50 cash lottery you are giving students opportunities to have better life chances.

Over the past years, the Foundation has aligned itself closely with the priorities of Red Deer Public Schools which are Literacy and Numeracy, Equity and Student Success and Completion. By aligning with these priorities we’re able to provide support for students beyond what is government funded.

In the last 10 years we’ve had over 600 students successfully complete Reading College, a program focused on grade 2 students struggling to read and write.

Bright Start, which has given 70 students access to pre-kindergarten supports, Finish Line where over 350 students have completed their high school requirements that otherwise would not have, Step Up which provides schools with the funds to support students basic needs like transportation, medication, clothing…and Music Plus which has given student the opportunity to learn how to play a musical instrument.
