Greetings From Our PTA President
Welcome to the start of another great year at Riverdale Elementary! The Riverdale Elementary PTA is looking forward to providing enriching and enjoyable programs and activities for the students and families of our school.
First off, we would like to welcome our new Principal, Mrs. Melanie Johnson to Riverdale. We are excited to have her! She has wonderful things planned for our students including Graduation by Design & College Bound. We are really looking forward to these fun classroom contests.
We kick off this school year with our first big event on Monday September 21st, THE COLOR RUN! This is PTA’s only fundraiser for the year & the money that we earn from this event, supports our entire years activities & programs. Grab your family and friends to get signed up for this amazing event. Color Run applications can be found at the schools entrance on our PTA Bulletin Board.
PTA still has positions available for you to try! We are looking for volunteers to fill: Restaurant Nights, VP Membership, End of Year Carnival, Campbell's Soup Labels, President Elect, St. Patrick's Family Night and Spanish Translator. If you are interested in learning more or have any questions about them, please feel free to contact me or any other PTA member. Positions can be shared so you can do any of these with your friends!
I personally am so excited to have the opportunity to be PTA President this year. My husband went to this school as did his mom, so our kids are 3rd generation Roadrunners! This will be my second year in PTA and I am looking forward to learning this position throughout the year. I hope this year brings lots of great family fun and learning for all of our students and us parents!
Communication is the most important tool we have for a successful PTA. We hope you can join us on Facebook & the schools website to get the most updated information available.
Thank you for your support!
Go Roadrunners!
Shannon Sanders
PTA President
