Parents 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.
