What does the School Council and Riverdale Educational Fundraising Society do at Riverdale School?
The School Council and Educational Fundraising Society are supported by the parents and families of Riverdale School, with a small but dedicated group of volunteers who make up the working board.
Through volunteer efforts and financial support, the School Council and Educational Fundraising Society work together to enhance learning and strengthen the school community at Riverdale.
Fundraising initiatives help provide the financial support needed to offer resources, events, and enriching educational opportunities for our students.
Some of the ways their support benefits students and our school community include:
- Events
- Welcome BBQ, Harvest Soup Day, Christmas Event, Book Fair, Family Dance, End of Year Fun Day
- Classroom Resources
- Classroom libraries, learning tools
- Library Resources
- Books, displays
- Music Resources
- Instruments, supplies
- Technology
- iPads, Chromebooks, Smartboards
- Field trips
- In-school and out-of-school learning experiences
- Artist in Residence
- Physical Education
- Equipment, activities, and learning opportunities
Because of this generous support, school fees at Riverdale remain very minimal while our students have access to the resources they need to be successful, along with many enriching educational experiences and opportunities.
We invite you to consider volunteering your time at one of our events or attending a monthly meeting. Every contribution, whether through time, ideas, or involvement, helps make a difference and is greatly appreciated by our school community.
