Message From RHS PTSA President
Warrior Families,
As we bring this school year to a close, I want to take a moment to thank you all for your incredible support. Whether as a volunteer in the School Store or one of our many events, a donor to our programs, or a member of our Board, your contributions continue to help Riverside keep ”Reaching for Higher Standards.” None of what PTSA does could be possible without you.
I am proud to note the many accomplishments of our PTSA this year include:
Teacher mini-grants and appreciation efforts,
Student academic initiatives, including incentives to improve EOC testing results,
Mental health awareness programs for students and staff,
New tables and chairs for AP/WINN/EOC testing,
Snacks for after-school tutoring and credit recovery,
and support of Veterans in our community.
We have added grounds beautification to our many areas of focus for next year. We are currently working hard to have a new irrigation system installed at the front of the school before or shortly after our students return for fall semester.
Moving forward, we are required to publish our 2025-26 officer slate, nominating committee, proposed budget and new bylaws prior to taking a General Membership vote. Please review the below information and contact the appropriate person with any additional nominations, questions or concerns. I will reach out to our PTSA members via email with the official ballots on May 14.
It has been my pleasure to serve as PTSA's President this year and I look forward to serving you in the 2025-26 school year. I hope you all have a wonderful summer.
Thank you, again!
Keri Dille
