If you don't know about RBA, their mission is "...to provide a safe learning environment
in a secondary setting; respecting the individual and differentiated needs of learners,
allowing them to reach their full potential and join their community with success."

Rochester Beacon Academy once won the Cool Classroom award, and I had so much fun during the visit. Exceptional students, staff, and administration have built a powerful community.

They recently moved into a much bigger facility, so they can work with more students than ever, but there's never enough money, that's just how it always seems to be. So this fundraiser is super important to continue the excellent educations at RBA.

There's a cool feature at the top of RBA's website, it scrolls with different info, and this one really speaks to me.
