Dear Rivermont Community,
Last Saturday was truly a gala evening as parents, grandparents, faculty, staff, trustees, alumni, and friends gathered to celebrate this year's Go Green Gala at Crow Valley Golf Club. It was a wonderful evening of golf, fierce bidding, delicious food, and excellent company. Special thanks to this year's event chairs Melissa Sears, Amy Telleen and Vicki Wallace and the many volunteers who joined in to make the evening a success. Kudos to Chae Hee Porubcin for being Super Volunteer this year. It was rewarding to see so many parents work together on this project. This annual event, sponsored by the Development Office of the School, provides not only an opportunity for our school community to celebrate and build community but also to support Rivermont's academic and extra-curricular programs. The School appreciates the time, creativity, and generosity of our volunteers. Many thanks also to the individuals and businesses who donated funds, items and services to this year's event. And of course thank you to everyone who attended the gala for their support of this Rivermont event that benefits every student in the school.
We are fortunate to have such a high percent of caring and concerned parents who volunteer at the School. There is much research that supports the correlation between parent participation and a school's effectiveness and success. It is little wonder why Rivermont is so successful! Thank You. You are toad-ally awesome and frog-tastic! Ribbit!
Rick St. Laurent, Headmaster

Supply kits will be available to purchase from May 10 through June 1. You can order your kit from The Write Stuff website and it will then be delivered to Rivermont. The school has provided The Write Stuff student supply lists for each grade PS-8 so you can be sure you are getting everything your child will need.

National Honor Society
Eyeglass Drive
In honor of healthy vision month,
National Honor Society is having an eyeglass drive! We are collecting any
prescription reading glasses and sunglasses (plastic and/or metal frames) that
are in good condition. NHS will donate the eyeglasses through the Lions Recycle
for Sight Program, where the glasses will be distributed to people in need and
in developing countries, where they will have a strong impact. In just about
any dresser drawer, one can find a pair of eyeglasses that are no longer being
used. That same pair of eyeglasses can change another person's life! Eyeglasses can be dropped off to either Mrs. Marietta or Ms. Burrell at either
reception desk, or delivered to an NHS member.
