Thank you to our parent community for your dedication to raising $20,000 this year to help bridge the gap between tuition income and program expenses.
This effort takes coordination and decision making about the calendar of events/initiatives, leadership for each project, and volunteers and participants. We see what our families do for Riverside and we are grateful.
