The annual Yard Sale is this
Saturday, October 6
and our parent organizers are in the final stages of preparation. Please consider how you can contribute:
- Sale Donations: Please donate unwanted items to our sale. You'll see signs on the porch of the barn and under the white tent that will help us presort books, clothing, etc, please put your donations accordingly. All donations must be received before 3:30 pm on Friday. Please do not donate electronics, VHS or cassette tapes, or furniture made from particleboard; these items don't sell well and are expensive for us to dispose of, lowering our fundraising power.
- Student and Adult Volunteers for Friday or Saturday Shifts: You can sign up for a volunteer shift at this website, where we're organizing our shift schedule this year. In particular we are looking for help with the clean-up shift, which is a great one for children or adults who just want to be told to carry something or sweep something. Many hands make that tiresome work at the end of a long day easier.

Seventh grader Gus Yerkes was in an accident over the weekend with a side-by-side ATV. He was wearing a helmet, but was pinned under the vehicle and suffered skull fractures; he was taken to DHMC where he had surgery. As of Monday morning his brain scan was "normal," and he was awake and responsive. The Yerkes circle of friends and family is taking good care of Jamie, Polly, Ruby, and Lila today. We know the Riverside community will want to lend a hand as well, please stay tuned to messages from us about how you can help.

This week's schedule:
- Monday practice for 5-6 Team, 3:15-4:30
- Tuesday practice CANCELLED due to rain and to support the Yerkes
- Thursday, Oct. 4 at home vs. Waterford 5-6th gr at 4:00, 7-8th gr at 5:00
