Enhancing Learning

The Ripon Area Education Foundation provides funding for teaching and learning experiences and materials that enhance student learning and are designed, chosen, and requested by teachers. The Foundation also underwrites certain professional development opportunities for teachers. Through the Jennie Long Memorial Fund, the Foundation offers tutoring to elementary school children.
