The Forster Ranch Education Foundation (FREF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization focused on improving the educational environment, opportunities and resources available to the students and staff of Truman Benedict Elementary School (TBES) and Bernice Ayer Middle School (BAMS).
FREF’s ongoing mission is to fill the funding gap by providing educational support including materials and supplies, enrichment programs and instructional aides to the students and staff of TBES and BAMS.
The Foundation is made up of a team of parent volunteers who are passionate about enhancing our children’s education and supporting our educators. All revenue generated by FREF stays within the Forster Ranch community and goes directly towards improving our schools.
The Foundation works together with the PTA and the Principals of each school to assess major district funding shortfalls within the schools’ budgets and determines the immediate and longterm needs of the schools. The by-laws of the foundation allow for greater flexibility in approving direct grants to teachers, making capital improvements to the facilities and for the future planning of our schools.
Without the work of the Forster Ranch Education Foundation, which is only made possible by the generous support of our local community of families, many of these programs, opportunities and improvements would simply go unfunded.
