Greetings from the Principal
Dear Riverview families,
GREAT NEWS!
Due to last week being a short week, we are extending our building fundraiser deadline for this Friday, January 29, to turn in the packets that came home last Tuesday.
Please help us continue to be able to utilize a Time for Kids (TFK) subscription for classrooms, and maintain Riverview’s valuable subscriptions to research and learning programs that renew annually! Our teachers consider the TFK resource to be very valuable for their integrated units, as it has both a newspaper-type text for reading closely and online component.
We earn 40% of all magazine orders, and our school will receive money simply for turning in the addressed postcards! Last January we raised nearly $3,000 on this important project. This year our goal is to raise $3,200! This building fundraiser is one of the main funding sources we have for meeting our additional technology/subscription needs that support Riverview students K-5.
On behalf of our staff, thank you in advance for taking time to review the TFK packet and participate in order to benefit our students.
Make it a great week!
Beth Mildren
