Rivers Collegiate Institute (RCI) principal Mike Klassen has remarked via the school’s newsletter, The Rambler, that although there has been a slight increase in student enrolment in recent years, the increase soared this year with 33 in Grade 7 and 28 in Grade 8. As a result, there has been a need for more teacher time. This extra time will be focused on English and math; Brenda Sokoloski was coaxed out of her two-month retirement to fill this position.

What do you do when you love to organize and fundraise? Create an event and take it from there! That’s is exactly what we, Heather Gray and Sherri Dziver, are doing. We plan to do something every year and donate the proceeds to local non-profit organizations. We have chosen Riverdale Splashpark and Riverdale Community Daycare as benefactors for this inaugural event. After costs are taken care of, we will be splitting the proceeds between these two organizations, with the exception of the 50/50 draw.
