I wanted to personally say thank you to you Jennifer (and your family), Lisa (and your family), Trudi, Karl, John S., Evelyne, Sarah, Brandy, Bob, Rhonda, Jon C, Ginny and Sherri, Kathy and your grandson Colt, Rene, Denise, Amanda, Anita, and Jodi.

We just finished counting the money and so far we have grossed $18,000!! Our cost was just under $4,000, but we still have around 40 people who need to pay for their silent auction stuff. I budgeted a profit of $10,000 on the Hawkfest and we have made way over that – thanks guys!

You all contributed above and beyond to the Hawkfest, and because of all your hard work this was THE BEST HAWKFEST EVER!!  Thank you for giving of our most precious commodity – your time.

Our PTA meeting is coming up this Thursday, September 11th at 7:00 PM!  We will only be having THREE association meetings this year so don’t miss out.  Attending meetings is a great opportunity to be a part of deciding how the money we make fundraising should be spent on our children. It is also a place to meet new people and eat good food.  This meeting is a MEXICAN FOOD POTLUCK so bring your favorite dish.  Also come for a chance to win two tickets to Great America!  Bring your kids, childcare is provided.  Invite someone who isn’t a part of the PTA.  See you there!!!

I am so excited about this school year! I wanted to let you know some things that I will be doing as president this year. I have some areas I will be focusing my time and attention on: music, science, advancing classroom technology, recycling, and parent support. Your ideas and feelings are important to me, so I hope you will come and share you dreams for Rivergold and our children at our first meeting in the staff lounge this THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 AT 7:00 PM. –Liz Kuykendall

Box Tops = Cash for Rivergold! August 14, 2008

Posted by jslo3 in Box Tops.

Saving and turning in the “Box Tops for Education” coupons on grocery products is a way to get EASY CASH for Rivergold. WE CAN GET EVEN MORE MONEY BY REGISTERING ON THE BOX TOPS WEBSITE. In fact, WE GET 5 BOX TOPS ELECTRONICALLY FOR EVERYONE WHO SIGNS UP ON-LINE. Anyone can sign up (not just Rivergold parents–so tell grandparents and anyone else willing to raise money for Rivergold) and designate Rivergold as their school. Once they sign up on-line they can go through the Box Top site and shop or buy books and then a portion of the sale goes into the Rivergold account. LAST YEAR RIVERGOLD RECEIVED $1,026 FROM BOX TOPS. PLEASE CHECK OUT THE WEBSITE, SIGN-UP, AND ALSO KEEP CLIPPING THOSE COUPONS. Jodie Daughrity is the Rivergold Box Tops coordinator if you have questions.
