Dear Riverside Families,
We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving break. As this holiday comes to a close, we wanted to provide a few reminders for the week ahead and take a moment to thank our Riverside community!
The first few months of the academic year have been busy and so productive, despite all the restrictions we have in place for our safety. Our volunteers have been so dedicated, innovative, and energetic, ensuring that our events and programs take place this year. Thank you to ALL our volunteers and to our entire community for supporting our school and its efforts.
Please watch for information this week about an annual gift drive we will be supporting through a local student and Riverside alumnus, Luke McQuillan, for the Yale New Haven Children's Hospital.
And in case you missed it, just because we're all being more careful these days does not mean we can't have fun! Check out
RIVPTA.org for information on how to stay safe, while still having fun as we delve into the holiday season.
Now, on to the reminders for the week ahead:
