PTA Accomplishments 2009-2010
As we near the end of another school year, we wanted to let you know how much the PTA Board appreciates the support we received this year from the River Trail staff and you, our River Trail families. We started off the year by lowering the prices of our membership packages due to the downturn in the economy, and anticipated a year of trying to "do more with less". However, thanks to the strong support we received from the families of River Trail, we were able to raise as much revenue this year as last year. Now we would like to let you know how we spent your money and invested our time in support of the students and the school.
We sponsored the Pack-Em In dance to start the year and the 8th grade dance to end the year. In between, we sponsored Red Ribbon week, Reflections, Tech Fair, Wolf Pack Nights, and staff appreciation events. We funded $15,000 in teacher mini-grants for instructional enrichment tools and $3,600 in campus beautification projects to improve the school grounds. In addition, we provided $13,000 for facilities enhancement projects, including new sound equipment for the music and drama programs and new projectors and bulbs for the classrooms. We provided the student agendas and the school directories, plus helpful health and safety e-mail alerts throughout the school year.
Special thanks go to the PTA Board and our Committee Chairs for their commitment, the River Trail administration and staff for their support, and all of you for your volunteerism and donations that have made our year a success. We hope you have a safe and happy summer and we look forward to seeing you at Sneak Peek in August!

Eighth Grade Dance
The 8th Grade was a great success. We were delighted that most of the eighth grade students attended and enjoyed a wonderful evening of music, food and friendship as they prepare to move on to another chapter in their lives. On behalf of the PTA, we wish them well and much success in their journey into high school and beyond.
The PTA would like to thank co-chairs Jacqui Hopkinson and Sue Malloy for all of the numerous hours hard work and leadership during this event, as well as sub committee chairs Clark and Patty Korbisch, Kathleen Sable, Ronda Harris,
Amy Lockerbie, Chi Kindland, Sherry Burkley, Cheryl Hiten, Jeannine Green, Lynn Are, Sala Baker and Shautel Walker. We would also like to thank all the parents who volunteered for the Eighth Grade dance in many various capacities and helped to make the dance a huge success! Together we helped to make a wonderful memory for our Eighth Graders. Last but not least, we would like to thank all those who gave donations including The Shindler Family, Costco and Home Depot.
