For 26 years Capers has been the signature fundraising event for RPDS.

Over its 26-year history, some of the projects Capers helped financially support include cutting-edge technology such as iPads and the Mac Computer Lab, innovative academic curricula like Singapore Math, need-based financial assistance, and updates to the campus and facilities.
