A note from the RHS Development Committee:

Dear RHS Community,

This year’s Development Committee (DC) has been preparing for the RHS 2026 annual gala, A Night of Enchanted Fantasy! Students and teachers have been busy creating beautiful pieces of art and concepts as they learn about the ethereal nature of folklore, fairytales, and magical landscapes.

The Russian Hill School Annual Gala Auction and Fundraiser is the cornerstone of our yearly fundraising efforts. In keeping with the independent school financial model, philanthropic support plays a vital role in sustaining the heart of our program and our operating budget.

All raised funds go directly to the Russian Hill School Annual Fund and ensures that we can:

- Invest in high-quality art materials and creative resources for hands-on exploration

- Maintain RHS’ warm, thoughtfully prepared environment Provide faculty with professional development, training, and continuing education

- Offer field trips that extend learning beyond our walls

- Attract and retain exceptional teachers who inspire young learners

Tuition alone does not fully cover the costs of an outstanding early childhood education. The Annual Fund bridges that gap and allows us to preserve the depth, creativity, and individualized attention and 4:1 ratio that makes Russian Hill School exceptional.

Giving at any level sustains our children, teachers, and community. Every contribution reflects a shared commitment to nurturing curiosity, confidence and joy in learning during these foundational years. We are deeply grateful for the generosity and partnership of our families and friends who help make this work possible.
