Riverfield Family Association |
Everyone Belongs
All parents and teachers are members of
the Riverfield Family Association (RFA) which encourages parent
participation and promotes educational programs, financial welfare
and service to the school community. RFA works to ensure all families
feel they "belong" at Riverfield.
The RFA sponsors many fun raising and fundraisers
during the year which support educational programs and keep tuition
at a more affordable level. RFA contributes approximately $35,000
annually to the operating budget through events such as:
- Sleepovers which allow parents a night out
with the security of knowing their children are safe at school
- Riverfield
Auction is a school-wide auction in the spring for which
classrooms create projects. The auction committee also collects
auction items from the community.
- Wrapping Paper sales in the fall give children
a chance to contribute by selling various gift items and paper
to friends and family, with many of them earning prizes for
their efforts
These fundraisers supplemented our resources
to purchase items not covered by tuition income. The RFA funds
provide computers, books for the library, enhancements to the
physical facilities and hiking trails and campground expansion.
In addition to fundraising, the RFA also hosts
social and educational events. Parents are encouraged to take
an active role in the classroom helping students with reading,
going of field trips, assisting in the library and sharing a talent
or hobby. Through RFA, each student's education is enhanced by
parent involvement.
