Thank You!

 Lower School Student Council would like to thank everyone who participated in the Extra Recess event on April 13th to raise funds for Japan.  The weather was perfect and students enjoyed using special recess games like parachute and giant-sized soccer ball!  Many students emptied their piggy banks and families donated extra to help with relief efforts in Japan after the earthquake and tsunami. 

We are proud to report that the Rivermont community donated $75.42.  Lower School Student Council, however, is doubling the amount and rounding the total to $150.00!
