The "community" makes the Difference


I am continually amazed at the commitment and resourcefulness of our collective community here in Riverside. At our last Board meeting, we had the REEF (Riverside Educational Enrichment Foundation) Board present some of the great things that they are doing to raise money to support our teachers and students. The funds go directly into the classroom and directly support the learning of students. All those "little" contributions make a huge difference in this effort -- particularly during these times. As a result of those "little" gifts, REEF has been able to leverage a larger gift, in the form of a donation from the E. Rhodes & Leona B. Carpenter Foundation in the amount of $55,000. On behalf of our students (as it is all about them), our deepest appreciation for the initiative and efforts of REEF and the generous contribution from the Carpenter family.

    Greetings Dr. Miller! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to communicate with you. We are pleased to invite you to our next DELAC meeting. We hope to see you on October 28 at 9:00 a.m. at Emerson Elementary. We also wanted to make a request about the website; is it possible to have everything translated into Spanish? Thank you for your time. Sincerely, the DELAC committee.
