The Jellyfish Takes a Journey

June 2nd, 5 pm

Hello!

As you may know, your child is going to be in their second play of the school year on June 2nd. The name of the play is The Jellyfish Takes a Journey. It is a Japanese myth that explains how the jellyfish became the gelatinous creature we know it as today.

I'm writing to ask that, if you are willing and/or able to send in clothing that your child or others could use as costumes, that would be wonderfully helpful. For this play, the children all need to wear shorts and t-shirts or tank tops under their costumes. We are still looking for another 1 or 2 kimonos or kimono-like garments as well. Please send items in no later than the start of this week, that will illuminate the gaps that will need to be shopped for leaving plenty of time to acquire missing items. As always, thank you for your help, support and all you do.

Warmly, Michelle

Celebrating 50 Years of Riley

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to celebrate half a century of our wonderful school! What a lovely evening of art, music, food and community. Though the weather dampened our plans a bit we still had a nice turnout with many memories made! Saturday was also the culmination of your spring auction, which was a fantastic success thanks to so many of you. Both events exceeded our goals, and we are thrilled and grateful!

Thank you to Caroline Saxe-Cobaugh for all the hard work on the spring auction, and thank you to John Petersen for putting together the incredible Porch Party celebration! You were both integral parts of this weekend's success and we're so grateful to have you in the Riley community.

This was truly a group effort so a huge thank you to all faculty, auction contributors, and community members who donated, bid, and more! Your support is so deeply appreciated!

Riley's Got Spirit!

This year's spirit week was a runaway success. Every day children and facilitators alike looked forward to seeing how their peers creatively executed the day's theme. The children-chosen themes were a delight to play with and we already can't wait until next year!
