Dear Riley School
The 7th-graders, class of 2024, are beginning to look forward to their last year at Riley next year and that means they need to fundraise for expenses that occur during their 8th-grade year such as cap and gowns, class dances, and the Springfield trip. This year the fundraiser is a bit unique. This year we will be selling socks with cute designs through Sockable. This fundraiser will be online only. The socks are affordable and adorable, only $8. The link for the fundraiser is www.sockablefundraising.com/order. (The link will be available on the Riley website and an email will be sent to Riley families as well.)
Sale Particulars…….
1. Sockable fundraiser starts February 6th and ends February 20th.
2. Orders and payment will be online only.
3. Orders placed will be sent to the school to be picked up.
4. Delivery date is being determined.
5. Fundraiser link: www.sockablefundraising.com/order

Amazing assembly today from our guest Matt Wilhelm. Matt is a national champion BMX freestyler who not only performed some incredible stunts on his bike, but delivered a strong anti-bullying message in the personal stories he shared with the Riley students.
He even taught some students the first trick he learned in 7th grade!
