Remember to check your child's Tuesday folder this week for important information. If you do not receive the Tuesday Folder, please let your child's teacher know.

Remember to label your child's jackets, coats, hoodies, water bottles, and lunch boxes with their name/initials. We donated hundreds of lost articles of clothing to a local agency last year, however we would love to be able to return your child's items to him/her.

CEW is an organization comprised of four local Riverside churches, Riverside Presbyterian Church, Riverside Avenue Christian Church, Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, and Trinity Lutheran. What started off as an after school enrichment program turned into so much more. CEW has been operating for over 25 years and lovingly provides Thanksgiving baskets & holiday gifts for our students, an annual pre-planning lunch for our faculty, Lunch Buddies (lunch time mentor program), Reading Buddies, PE equipment, assistance with Field Day, school supplies, and after school enrichment opportunities such as drama class, basketball, and swimming lessons. Thank you, CEW for your support!
