We are so grateful to the entire parent body for helping us achieve new levels of excellence with another record-breaking year. Your enthusiastic support demonstrates the strength and vitality of our community at Ransom Everglades and ensures the school’s legacy will grow stronger. Together, we raised an all-time high of $3,009,611 in annual support for the 2017-18 year. Parents alone contributed more than $1.6 million, another record, with 80-percent participation. RE’s successes are a direct result of the generosity of our outstanding community of parents, alumni, faculty, staff, families and friends, whose philanthropic support is at the heart of our accomplishments. We are so proud of our talented students and dedicated faculty and staff, who continue to advance the mission of Ransom Everglades.
