Through the generous donations of Alumni and supporters, The Red Devil Education Foundation Inc.’s mission statement is twofold:  (1) To elevate the educational experience of IAS students by funding innovative projects and programs.  (2) To modernize our beloved century-old building with new technologies and amenities, ensuring its continued relevance for generations to come.

Ask me about the past, Ask me about the future, Ask me what WE can do now?

Life is different today than it was a year ago, 10 years ago, or even 20 years ago. Children love to learn and be challenged. Our schools today need the extra financial resources to provide new and innovative ways of learning. We hope to make the Ironwood Area Schools a model of creative and academic excellence for ALL. We encourage the community and our local businesses to also participate in helping make this happen. Community pride and involvement are such necessary building blocks to be SUCCESSFUL!

A dedicated group of concerned and enthusiastic volunteers who are willing to give our time and talents to support the teachers and their methods of teaching by helping to make up-to-date resources available to them.  We will accomplish this by soliciting funds from Alumni and supporters of the Ironwood Area Schools. Your financial support isn’t just a donation; it’s a profound investment in the future of our school and the students who will one day carry on our legacy!

Our Alumni and supporters live all over the world. Their journeys in life after leaving the Ironwood area are varied and amazing. Supporting the Foundation is a way for them to reflect on the education they received and contribute to the success of future generations. We are astounded at the generosity of ALL contributions. NO CONTRIBUTION is too small.

• Through the generous donations of Alumni and supporters, the Foundation will provide financial support to those programs and creative projects that are NOT typically funded in the normal operating budget of the school. We are all about providing the extras for students.

• We will partner with teachers and organizations within the district to encourage, support and promote projects to provide the most modern technologies and resources that are available for learning.

• School staff will send requests for items including, but not limited to different supplies, equipment, technology and field trips to name only a few. The Foundation Board will then act on the requests in a timely manner and disperse funds as they may become available.

Our GOAL will be to MAKE things happen! Semi-annual newsletters will provide feedback to where your donation has been used.
