After decades of dedicated service in RCISD, we extend our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to Kim Crumrine as she steps away from her role as Education Foundation Executive Director and begins a new chapter.
Kim's dedication, compassion, and commitment to serving our students, staff, and community have left a lasting mark on all who have had the privilege of working with her. While it is difficult to say goodbye, we are grateful for the years she has shared with us and the countless ways she has strengthened our district and classrooms. The framework that Kim has put in place over the past decade will no doubt benefit our students and families for generations.
Please help us as we thank Kim for her service and wholehearted commitment to advocating for students and teachers across our district. ๐๐
