Help to “Cover” Portland’s Homeless Blanket and Tarp Drive

Help to “Cover” Portland’s Homeless
Blanket and Tarp Drive

Riverdale Grade School
November 8th – November 12th

Dear Riverdale Parents, Teachers, and Students,
As students in the Leadership elective, there are
many things we hope to accomplish for our school
and community. We’ve chosen to devote our time to 4
organizations throughout this trimester that need our
help. Our second organization we have chosen to
support is St. Francis Dining Hall, a non-denominational
nonprofit agency that provides meals and clean clothes
to Portland’s homeless. The group of student leaders
in charge of this project have contacted the Hall and
found out, because of the season, rather than canned
food they are in desperate need of blankets and
tarps. Starting November 8th Riverdale Grade School
will begin collecting the above items. We are asking
everyone to bring in any new or used blankets or tarps.
There will be donation bins in all classroom breakout
areas and also in the Grade school’s entrance.

We thank you very much for your time,
The Leadership Elective

Principal Newsletter -- November 8, 2010

We have our K-4 Open House this week, on Wednesday from 9:30-11:30. We have a more aggressive get-the-word-out effort in lace than in prior years, and we are also separating the K-4 and 5-8 programs (5-8 is on the 17th, same time frame) in order to speak more meaningfully to those two groups. We could use your help!
  • Please forward the e-communication you receive to any friends or acquaintances thinking of relocating or currently looking for a school.
  • Please take a flier or postcard from the office counter and distribute it to a location you frequent.

It's fixing to be a great event. We really appreciate your help in spreading the word!

Two quick reminders: adjust your clock this weekend, and Veterans Day is Thursday. And, of course, thank you voters!
