PTC Auction: Casino Royale
For prospective families
RIVERDALE PARENT TEACHER CLUB – Each year, the Riverdale PTC hosts a fabulous fundraiser to support events, activities, programming and "extras" that help make our schools and community exceptional. From the fall carnival to art literacy in classrooms, teacher grants to extracurricular community school classes, robotics to high school musicals, and fi eld trips to fi eld day — the PTC makes these and many other programs possible with volunteers and fi nancial support. This year’s 007-themed swanky soirée, Casino Royale, will take place Saturday, Feb. 23 at a brand-new venue, The Redd on Salmon Street. Start planning your night out and gather friends, old and new, to fi ll your table. There will be online and live auctions, party pack sign-ups, a paddle raise for school requests, dinner, dancing and, of course, casino games! Stay tuned for ticket info, and check for updates in the PTC Parent Pack newsletter and at RiverdalePTC.org/category/auction. In the meantime, you can help with corporate sponsorships, much-needed auction item donations and signing up to volunteer. Never say "never" again.
RIVERDALE SCHOOL DISTRICT – We'll be opening a limited number of spaces in kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 9th and 10th grades for the 2019–20 school year.
