Peace is a universal wish for all humankind.  This holiday season focuses our attention on the importance and value of peace and respect for all.  On behalf of the faculty, staff, and administration I wish you all peace as we end 2010 and prepare to begin a new year.  May 2011 bring happiness, prosperity, health and most especially as our Choirs sang, "Dona nobis pacem."

The Rivermont Collegiate cheerleading team participated in a Middle School cheer competition at Silvis Junior High on December 6. The team was divided into two competition teams. Each team executed five cheers and was evaluated for enthusiasm, technique, rhythm and timing, loudness, and creativity. Our older girls placed fourth overall, while our 5th and 6th grade squad placed second in the newly created junior division. Congratulations to the Rivermont Cheerleaders and their coach Heather Manuel. You are: BOOM! Dynamite!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to all of the wonderful friends, family, students, and faculty who participated once again in the Shoes That Fit program.  Rivermont Collegiate collected and donated over 100 pairs of shoes, as well as countless items of clothing such as hats, gloves, pants, and tops for very needy school children.  A big thank you to the Upper School National Honor Society that donated $300.00 to Shoes That Fit.  Your donation made all the difference.  Thank you!

Rivermont was able to support the following schools:

Washington Elementary

Adams Elementary

Bluegrass Elementary

Bridgeview Elementary

Buchanan Elementary

Wells Elementary

Lincoln Elementary

Riverdale Heights

Here are some thank you notes I received from the nurses.  Again I cannot thank you enough for your generosity, Rivermont!

Sincerely,

Vicki Wallace

Please accept our Deepest Thank-You!  The boots came just in time for our 1st snowfall and the happiness/excitement in the children who received them was priceless.  Please let your generous families know how deeply we appreciate their kindness!

The children are extremely excited and want to wear their boots all day!  The generosity of families at Rivermont has meant a lot to our families who are financially struggling here!  Thank you all so very much!!
Blue Grass Elementary

I just wanted to thank you so much for the shoes for our Buchanan students!  I wish you were here to see their faces!  They really appreciate them!  So many of them were wearing shoes that were two sizes to small for them.  They were so happy to receive them!  The students are making cards and I will be sending them to the school.  I just wanted to make sure I got this off to you right away letting you know what a difference you made in the lives of our students.
