Riverside Book Swap & City
Light Book Drive
The annual Riverside Book Swap will take place
April 20th through April 24th. This is a great way
to receive some new reading material and is
also an opportunity to provide books to
homeless children in Boise. Please select gently
used books at or above your reading level.
You may donate as many as ten books. You
will get to choose one fewer book than you
donate, receiving up to a maximum of five
books in exchange. The remaining books will
be donated to City Light Home to provide
reading material for the homeless children they
serve. Book swap forms will be distributed to
each student in their Friday Folder. Please
deposit your books and completed book swap
forms in bins located outside of your classroom
April 20 – 24 to participate. Distribution of
books will be the following Tuesday, April 28th.
Please contact Wendy Zerza at 383-3461 or
zerza@cableone.net with any questions.
Box Tops for Education
Thank you to all the students and parents that
have clipped and supported Box Tops for
Education at Riverside this year. We have
raised $995.00 so far. Our goal of $1,000.00 this
year is within reach. We will continue to collect
and submit Box Tops through the end of the
school year. Riverside will be paid for these
later submissions in the 2015 – 2016 school year.
We truly appreciate your efforts and support
this year. So keep clipping!

consider this an opportunity to get involved
and to make a meaningful contribution to
your child’s Riverside experience. Our
children benefit greatly from the many
activities and events that are funded by the
PTO and organized by our dedicated
volunteers. Thank you again to the many
volunteers who have helped make Riverside
a great place for all our children to learn and
grow.
Please contact Troy Owens at:
