Message from the Director of Advancement
Each year, the Advancement Office at Riverside Presbyterian Day School examines the current strengths of the school and compares them to the mission set forth by our founding fathers.
Karla O. Newton
Director of Advancement
These strengths enable RPDS to offer a school environment that addresses the needs, develops the talents and encourages the responsibility and character of our students. Much of our current strength rests on the shoulders of the Riverside family – through their generous contributions of time, talents and resources.
Through the gifts of Riverside alumni, parents, grandparents and friends, the school is able to address one of the most important aspects of our future – the education of our young people. Our ability to improve and move forward is dependent on gifts to the school. RPDS volunteers and donors regularly rise to the challenge, helping us reach new goals in fundraising. In the past, generous donors have made possible the technology program, new playgrounds and equipment, a home for "Riverside in the Afternoon", professional development for our faculty, enhanced classroom initiatives and, through our capital campaign, new classroom and gathering space.
The success of our students is evidence of the benefits made possible through the philanthropic support of our family. Your gifts provide opportunities everyday as we continue to work together building foundations for the future.
