Dear Parents and Guardians,
Please see announcements below for this week.
Our Riordan students have been doing many things in the community. Sophomore religion classes served at St. Anthony's, and Riordan Drama's Troupe 5596 of the International Thespian Society won one of three awards at last weekend's Northern California Thespian Leadership Conference, including Most Original Showcase Performance.
Monday, September 18 is our Marianist Martyrs Mass at 11:15 am in the Lindland Theatre. Parents are invited to attend. This will be a formal wardrobe day for students.
Sincerely,
ARHS Administration

T
hank you to our parents who are participating in the Parent Pledge Program.
This program provides critical support, as parent gifts help pay for all of the things that tuition does not, such as campus improvements (gym renovation, campus painting, and the creation of our Makerspace and Auto Shop programs), new academic offerings, tuition assistance, and new equipment.
In 2016-17, we received pledges as low as $50 and as high as $50,000 over four years. We hope that all parents will consider a pledge that falls somewhere in between. Our goal is for each family to average $12,000 over four years. Some will do less and some will do more--what counts is that all families participate at a level that feels right and is within their means. Those who choose to pledge $10,000 or more over four years will be invited to our Annual President's Dinner in the fall.
If you are interested in making a pledge, please
click here to download a pledge form, or you can register online at
www.riordangiving.com. Please click "Parent Pledge" in the drop down menu at the top, and select "Pledge (Installments)" in the area that says "Type of gift." This will guarantee that the pledge goes to the right place.
