Greetings from the Principal:
Dear Falcon Families,
On behalf of our staff, we are beyond thrilled with the success of the 2nd Annual Parents Night Out event! Our staff is beyond grateful for the parent support we receive through your time, talents, kindness, and generosity. Over $19,000 was raised at this event! This allows the current educational programming and community activities to continue, including PTA-sponsored events and The Leader In Me.
Since we exceeded our goal, the Riverview students will get to celebrate with a Glow Party next quarter!!! None of this would be possible without a unified vision, and commitment to this school and amazing district. Your generosity will continue the strong tradition of Riverivew parents helping our community and children to thrive!
It's hard to believe we are 'Marching' our way into the final quarter of this school year. Enjoy your Spring Break March 11-18, and let's hope when we return to school on March 19 the temperatures start to reflect Spring, not Winter.
Sincerely,
Beth Mildren
Principal
